Stick Figure Family
© Townley, Miller, Parker, Curry

(verse)
There’s a sticker of his family peeling off his Minivan
Looking in the rear view always takes him back
Can see the dent in the leather where the car seat used to be
Every Cheerio and Kool-aid stain a bittersweet memory

(chorus)
He keeps driving on 
Caught between regret and just moving on
Forgiveness can be a mess
Keeps wearing out his knees trying to get back 
his stick figure family  

(verse)
Should've kept the ring on his finger that weekend out of town
One thing led to another his whole world came crashing down
Maybe he shouldn’t have told her but you can't outrun a lie
And even if he hadn’t she would have seen it in his eyes

(repeat chorus)

(Bridge)
The road is rough and rocky and takes a few hard lefts
But hope don’t have a sunset and horizons never end

(chorus)
So, He keeps driving on 
Caught between regret and just moving on
Forgiveness can be a mess
Might be miles away 
From the perfect apology and the right words to say
But Keeps wearing out his knees
For what might now only ever be a stick figure family
