I Got Everything
(Mary McBride, Dan Pifer)
I got diamonds in my hand from a quarry upstate
Billboard out the window never seems to fade
Catwalk floating high above the steam
Friends who ain’t afraid to tell me what they mean
I got everything / I got everything
I got everything, everything but you
Kids with finger steeples giggle on the stoop
Summer double dutch, spinning hula hoops
Diner on the corner where they know my name
A strong cup of coffee on an ice cold day
Looking at the world, eyes on a tilt
It all came down, everything we built
This time it’s over, I’m empty and blue
I got everything but you
On the corner after midnight praying for rain
Message on that napkin did a number on my brain
Storefront crystal reader with a toothless grin
Says hold your head high, don’t give in
