Back of The Bottom Drawer - Chely Wright[00:00:00]

Written by：Chely Wright/Liz Rose[00:00:01]

In the back of the bottom drawer[00:00:14]

Of the dresser by our bed[00:00:18]

Is a box of odds and ends[00:00:21]

That I have always kept[00:00:24]

But the man who sleeps beside me[00:00:28]

Doesn't know it's even there[00:00:32]

Little pieces from my past[00:00:35]

That I shouldn't have to share[00:00:39]

A napkin that is stained with time[00:00:43]

Has a poem on it[00:00:46]

That didn't quite rhyme[00:00:48]

But it made me cry[00:00:50]

In a dear jane letter[00:00:57]

From a different guy[00:00:58]

He broke up with me[00:01:00]

And he told me I'm not always right[00:01:02]

And a stolen key[00:01:11]

From an old hotel room door[00:01:13]

In the back[00:01:18]

Of the bottom drawer[00:01:21]

I don't keep these things[00:01:26]

'Cause I'm longing to go back[00:01:29]

I keep them because I wanna stay[00:01:33]

Right where I'm at[00:01:36]

I'm reminded of my rights and wrongs[00:01:40]

I don't wanna mess this up[00:01:44]

But I wouldn't know where I belong[00:01:47]

Without this box of stuff[00:01:51]

A birthday card from my first boyfriend[00:01:54]

He signed it I love you so I gave in[00:01:57]

Yeah we went too far in his daddy's car[00:02:02]

And those mardi gras beads from '98[00:02:08]

We danced all night stayed out so late[00:02:12]

We thought we were stars[00:02:16]

Closing down the bars[00:02:19]

That champagne was cheap[00:02:22]

But still I've got that cork[00:02:25]

In the back[00:02:30]

Of the bottom drawer[00:02:33]

I'm not trying to hide these things[00:02:38]

From the man I love today[00:02:41]

But I'm a better woman for him[00:02:44]

Thanks to my yesterday[00:02:48]

So now I try to give more than I take[00:02:51]

And I bite my tongue[00:02:55]

Fight the urge to say[00:02:57]

'It's my way or no way at all'[00:02:59]

And now I cherish love a whole lot more[00:03:06]

'Cause of what's[00:03:13]

In the back of the bottom drawer[00:03:15]
