[VIRGINIA] When I was seventeen and you were twentythree You couldnt wait to be alone with me We shared a private little world all our own Then the kids came, no privacy The job took you away from me Still, wed never miss Our goodnight kiss on the phone Remember how wed whisper, dear And dream about the day When it would be the two of us And youd be home to stay? Now you just want to win this truck So you can drive away To hunt with the boys And make you feel free Youd do anything To keep from being alone with me [VIRGINIA and J.D.] Youre tired of the growing bills Im just tired The side effects from the little pills All the time And the hospitals where [BOTH] They just wont let youme be [VIRGINIA] I thought that youd be happy now Home with the one you love But it turns out Im one more thing Youve gotten tired of I try to talk [J.D.] I dont wanna talk [VIRGINIA] You turn up the TV [J.D.] Just let me be [VIRGINIA] You used to like being [J.D.] I cant stand being [BOTH] Alone with me [VIRGINIA] After thirty years You guess some love will wear away The same face on your pillow Staring at you every day [BOTH] Afraid that youll discover You have nothing left to say [VIRGINIA] I wish I knew what I could do To make myself enough for you The way that youre enough for me [J.D., spoken] Aw, Ginny... [VIRGINIA] But I cant watch you kill yourself Its killing me Youd do anything To keep from being alone with me
