Turning down to avoid them when they call
 Strange words I heard a long long time ago
 I wish I could go back to a summer time I knew more than twenty years
 ago
 Lay between the sheets we lie underneath the maple tree
 Now I can't smile
 Lying down in the grass with the wind around us as we smile and talk
 Listen to your Grandma sing those country songs
 She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years
 We'd lay in the grass all summer just to watch the autumn come around
 I can't smile
 Now I can't smile
 I live alone and you're so far away
 I call you every year just around the holiday
 I still see you in the night lying above me in the grass
 I can't smile
 Turn away from the pain you don't want
 Turning down to avoid them when they call
 I can't believe this letter that says you died
 I think I'm gonna go back to the house in North Carolina and lay in
 the backyard
 Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me
 Bury me
 I can't smile
 Now I can't smile
 I don't know what's happening to me
 I don't know what's happening to me
 I can't smile
