Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Big Chris was an electrician
He worked on Yvonne's house
That's how she met him
Yvonne asked him out
[Verse 2]
He'd pick her up in the evenings
In his electrician van
Mostly they would just talk
And he'd hold her hand
[Chorus]
They'd ride around in his van
With his name on the side
And Yvonne felt protected
Like everything was alright
[Verse 3]
Laney was only seven
Chris treated her like his own
Laney's dad Jamie was jealous
He couldn't leave it alone
[Verse 4]
Yvonne found out she was pregnant
Chris went and bought her a ring
He said, "We'll be a family
I'll take care of everything"
[Chorus]
They'd go ride his van
With his name on the side
And when Jamie would see them
It ate him up inside
[Verse 5]
One night when Chris was out drinking
Watching a game at the bar
Jamie started in on him
And took it too far
[Verse 6]
They ended up on the sidewalk
Somebody called up Yvonne
By the time that she got there
Jamie had shot Chris and run
[Chorus]
You know we still have his van
Still has his name on the side
It's been parked in the driveway
As long as I've been alive
[Verse 7]
Jamie's still out there running
Laney lives with a friend
It's just me and Yvonne
She never married again
[Verse 8]
I know that she's had a hard time
Raising kids on her own
We fight all the time
I hate being at home
[Chorus]
Someday I'll fix up his van
I'll keep his name on the side
I'm gonna get out of Richmond
And vanish into the night
