Natilee

I remember casting lines out, fishing with my dad

Holding onto every single quiet hour we had

Then I climbed up in a semi, learned to drive that heavy load

Got my CDL and took my stubborn spirit down the road

I was strong-willed, I was honest, a loyal, faithful friend

I'm the woman that you started as, right up to the end

Oh, Natilee, you aren't the woman that you used to be

But you still deserve the love and the respect you gave to me

I know you try to push me down and wish I didn't exist

But I'm the memory of your heart, the one you can't dismiss

I won't just fade into the dark, I'm stepping in the light

I deserve some equal time in your life tonight

I traded out the highway for a pair of styling shears

Cosmetology, then barber's license the following year

Got married, bought my own home before I turned thirty years old

With all the pets I've loved since I grew up to brave the cold

I bought that '85 Thunderbird, V8 turbo whine

Power everything rolling down, cassette deck keeping time

Oh, Natilee, you aren't the woman that you used to be

But you still deserve the love and the respect you gave to me

I know you try to push me down and wish I didn't exist

But I'm the memory of your heart, the one you can't dismiss

I won't just fade into the dark, I'm stepping in the light

I deserve some equal time in your life tonight

We've been through every season, we've weathered every change

Sometimes the face inside the mirror looks a little strange

But I am still a part of you, I'm anchored in your soul

You have to let me breathe again to make our story whole

'Cause Natilee, you aren't the woman that you used to be

But you still deserve the love and the respect you gave to me

I know you try to push me down and wish I didn't exist

But I'm the memory of your heart, the one you can't dismiss

I won't just fade into the dark, I'm stepping in the light

I deserve some equal time in your life tonight

Yeah, I deserve some equal time in your life tonight
