There was not much we could do
Cause he got drunk and hit her right
He blamed it on a four -day bender
When he drew a face card on the flop
Put his faith on Fifth Street
Bet blind and lost the pot
We lived in separate houses
They call us half -bloods
But we were hole in our eyes
I'd meet you on your side of the middle
On your darkest of nights
Just to prove that time ain't
Between your heart and mine
Two months passed and mama came
are gonna leave this time
And there I stood in the carport crying
Watching y 'alls tail lights fade
We live in separate houses
But we were holding our eyes
Daddy spiraled when momma got a ring
From a man who told her to forget me
I guess you caused him problems
Cause she cut you loose at seventeen
We let the house go in the auction
We left all we knew behind
that share the same blood
That flows within your heart and mine
We lived in separate houses
They called us half -blood
But we were holding our eyes
I'd meet you on your side of the meadow
Between your heart and mine
Just to prove that time ain't
Between your heart and mine
