Lyrics Lori McKenna

Lori McKenna

Numbered Doors

She wore a borrowed dress nobody wanted back

She looked pretty as a picture in a magazine ad

Her daddy walked her down the isle and that was that

No going back now

They said they'd keep on driving till they smelled the ocean

His arm so proud around her the windows open

All she wanted was to keep on going, just keep on going

Numbered doors cheap champagne

Run out of time before they kill the pain

Maybe you'll find what you're searching for

Somewhere tonight behind numbered doors

She took the only waitress job that she could find /

A town like this don't have a 5 and Dime

The summer's too hot the winter's too cold

You can buy your Jesus or you can sell your soul

Numbered doors misspelled names

It won't hurt no more so let it hit the vein

You can't give away what ain't really yours

But how she tries behind numbered doors

They didn't find her there until the next afternoon

Housekeeping came in to clean the room

Seemed like it happened in a strangely peaceful way

Sometimes there ain't no reason why something breaks

She wore a borrowed dress nobody wanted back

Her daddy walked her down the aisle and that was that
