CHEER UP

She was a Cadillac driving small town queen

Red hair, red lace, you know what I mean

Flippin' through her magazines

A whole lotta heart and a whole lotta dreams

My Mary made a farm from seed

Hands in the dirt pulling the weeds

Bending the earth to whatever she pleases

Singing her song whenever she needs it

Cheer up

Cheer up

Cheer up, cheer up

Cheer up

His eyes sharp, his dark hair thick

A stubborn man no matter what he did

A hat trick pony with a matchstick

A tall tree leaning over my crib

And daddy climbed 10,000 ft

Planted a flag at the top of the peak

Lifted the cliff at the end of the street

A kind reminder whenever we need it

Cheer up

Cheer up

Cheer up, cheer up

Cheer up

Cheer up

Cheer up

Cheer up, cheer up

Cheer up

A hard heart trying to break apart

So I could climb inside

I was sure you loved me

And you tried so hard but you could not decide

Hey, hey I was just a kid you kept it hidden

Hey, hey it's not that you were lying, it's not that you weren't trying, hey

Cheer up, cheer up

Cheer up

Cheer up love

Cheer up love

Cheer up, cheer up

I visit the graves sit on the grass

Retelling the story to make it last

The pain of letting go of the past

A void that was once so full of the laughter

That happy flag standing high

Above their names, side by side

Who cares who's right my hometown pride

Warm were the nights of our simple life

Hey, hey I was just a kid you kept it hidden

Hey, hey it's not that you were lying, it's not that you weren't trying, hey

Cheer up, cheer up

Cheer up

Cheer up love

Cheer up love

Cheer up, cheer up

Cheer up, love
