Story Behind The Song

The nature of romance....one person changes and the other remains the same...the static one doesn't know what hit him but is still grateful for the attention...

Song Description

Wild young girl follows rocker on tour and leaves him for personal reasons he don't understand

Lyrics

She Don?t Carry Yr Picture c Compton Maddux/all rights reserved 2002

Met her in a truck stop/ outside Abilene
Said she?d like to take a little peek inside of my air stream
Then we crossed the country/ never missed a gig
And after the last number/ she climbed back into the rig

I loved it when she laughed/ shook out her raven hair
How was i to know that she was somebodies Au pere


ch She always give you compliments about the way you dressed
Always told the stories/ made you look yr best
But now she?s back?in out/ drivin? that big Ford
No she don?t carry yr picture in her wallet anymore

Well she packed the kind of lov?in that would never quit
Every time you wrote a song said, baby that?s a hit
She loved the video and the satin sheets/
Teriyaki jerky, slim Jims and pigs feet

She loved yr sense of humor/ loved yr sense of time
It didn?t seem to matter that you wasn?t in yr prime
Her heart was always open wore her lov?in on her sleeve
Poured on the affirmation said, ?Yr just what i need/

chorus

he turned aside to hear her say/
Just before he?d leave/
You was all I wanted/ but
You ain?t what I need

I remember that dark night when she threw in my face
Put a snap of her Chihuahua back to take it?s place
I just can?t figure it sometimes I ask the Lord
Why she don?t carry my picture in her wallet anymore






























I remember that dark night when she threw in my face
Put a snap of her Chihuahua back to take it?s place
I just can?t figure it sometimes I ask the Lord
Why she don?t carry my picture in her wallet anymore
