Iris Meadows

Once again
driving for 6 hours
just to get to that place made for me
I took some time to rediscover
lift my head above the covers

pick up the pieces and throw them away
tell all my friends that someday I'll stay
but when I'm gone take my ashes
and pour me over the meadows

cause we're only here once
so take what you can
it's all in my best interests
to be who I am
and Jackie's getting stronger
now the clouds are no longer around

sun goes down
scattered thoughts bring melodies
open skies open roads paved for me

I'm always writing this book of my life
someday you'll read about me

pick up the pieces and put them in place
childhood memories brought tears to my face
and when the world comes down crashing
let's go up to the meadow

we're only here once
so take what you can
it's all in my best interests
to be who I am
and Jackie's getting stronger
now the clouds are no longer around

we're only here once
so take it to far
it's all in your best interests to be who you are
and Jackie's getting stronger
now the clouds are no longer around

yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah

we're only here once
so take what you can
it's all in my best interests
to be who I am
anc Jackie's getting stronger
now the clouds are no longer around

we're only here once
so take it to far
it's all in your best interests to be who you are
and Jackie's getting stronger
now the clouds are no longer around
