Oh Louise

We’ve learned to live with our mistakes
We cut the cords but we felt the weight
And the picket fences around our yard
They turned to firewood when the times got hard

Oh Louise Oh Louise
Life has brought us to our knees
But that’s not the way it’s always gonna be
Oh Louise Oh Louise
Bet your happiness on me
And I’d treat you like the queen you ought to be
Oh Louise

The nights get long and the days get lean
When the fields are bare and the cupboard’s clean
And I know it looks like things are heading south
But I got this feeling it’ll all work out
