There came a day, when I closed my eyes, when I decided, to believe my lies,
I told myself it would all be ok, that she'd hang on for another day,
I remember that phone call, all too well, words wouldn't come to me, my tears they fell,
They told me she'd left us, around 6am, and that's when I realized, I'd never see her again,
No she won't be here, to dry my tears nor can she calm me now, or quell my fears,
When I hung that phone up, I was so confused, cause she's the one I'd have called, to ask what I should do,
(Chorus)
She'd say spend all your money, on love and good times, make sure it's your passion boy, causing all of your crime,
She’d say don't let your fear, define who you might be, the road is quite long son, if life's as it should be,
it seemed like just seconds, I was way across town, that we lowered her gently, into the ground,
I can barely remember, who was there that day, they all just walked up to me, with such nice things to say,
I sat at that gravesite, till they had all gone, I had to apologize, for being so wrong,
From days into years now, from that night till today, whenever I close my eyes, I know just what she'd say,
(Chorus)
She'd say spend all your money, on love and good times,
Make sure it's your passion boy, causing all of your crimes,
She’d say don't let your fear, define who you might be,
And whenever you're happy boy, oh please think of me,
Spend all your money, on love and good times,
Make sure it's your passion boy, causing all of your crimes,
She say don't let your fear, define who you might be,
And whenever you're happy boy, oh please think of me,
When the sun hits your face,
In the smile of your child,
When things are uncertain boy,
Or when life gets too wild,
May the world feel that fire,
which resides in your soul,
And baby boy if God willing,
You'll find peace and grow old,
Find peace and grow old.

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
Margo Price's latest album tackles loss, failure, and freedom over lush pop, psychedelic country, and rock arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 13, 2023
