They painted a line down, down the middle of the town
And we had to move out when they sold the house
My mom got an old house about a mile from the old house
My dad got an apartment across town
My dad got a new girlfriend and they joined a new church
And every other weekend, they would take me there
And that’s where I saw her and that’s when my heart sank
Pretty as a picture, if pictures are any gauge
One day in a black dress, at Sunday service
Her violin solo made me believe in love
It was the last time I saw her. Soon after my dad died
And I never stepped foot in that church again
