REBA MCENTIRE - Stairs lyrics

She looks at the clock it's a quarter past nine

She hears his car as he pulls in the drive

Dinner's still waiting from hours before

She knows he's been drinking when he walks through the door

In anger he strikes out and she starts to cry

How much more can she take how much more can she lie

And she fell down the stair again but it hasn't happened since she don't know when

Was it in spring when she packed up the kids

Or maybe in winter with his job on the skids

Oh but just like before she'll have to pretend that she fell down the stairs again

A short time ago she started a job serving chicken fried steak and corn on the cob

She started out shy but she ended up sure

That a ticket to anywhere could be the cure

But he couldn't handle her change for the better

She tried to leave him but he wouldn't let her

He says he's sorry he'd never mean it he swears it won't happen again

But she's so confused she wants to believe it she just wants this nightmare to end

And she fell down the stair again...

Just like before she'll have to pretend that she fell down the stairs again
