I got a picture of us back when we were close
Before we had somebody picking out our clothes
But you always dressed in your Sunday best
Even when we didn't have nowhere to go
I got a picture of us playing in a bar
And your shirt cost more than your guitar
But you played so heavy and you always let me sing
A couple even though you were the star
I was the worst of the two of us
The Rex's blues wasn't through with us
You were bound for glory and grown to die
Oh, then why wasn't I?
Why wasn't I?
I saw a picture of you laughing with your child
I saw a picture of you laughing with your child
And I hope she will remember how you smile
But she probably wasn't old enough
The night somebody sold you stuff
That left you on the bathroom tiles
Got a picture of you dying in my mind
With the doors you couldn't bear to leave behind
But I can hear your voice ring
As you snap another V-string
And you finish off the set with a smile
And only you find
And for a minute there you're still alive
I was the worst of the two of us
The Rex's blues wasn't through with us
You were bound for glory and grown to die
Oh, then why wasn't I?
I was the worst of the two of us
The Rex's blues wasn't through with us
You were bound for glory and grown to die
And only you found me to forgive you
For the nights that your love had to live through
Now you don't ever need to look me in the eye
I am the last of the two of us
But the fourth word blues isn't through with us
You traveled beyond the grave divide
You traveled beyond the grave divide
Oh, then why haven't I?
Why haven't I?
Why haven't I?
