Best of Me

Intro

Yeah

Uh-huh

Picking up the pieces

Chorus

Oh my Lilli Raine

Special girl walking through the rain

My firstborn saw my darkest day

Now the sun won't go away

Oh Lilli Raine

Verse 1

When I was young I was a wild one

Rough and broke down and living under the gun

You saw the shadows on your daddy's face

Before I ever found a slower pace

Chorus

Oh my Lilli Raine

Special girl walking through the rain

My firstborn saw my darkest day

Now the sun won't go away

Oh Lilli Raine

Verse 2

Out in the woods where the wild things sleep

Hunting for the secrets that the forest used to keep

Appalachian Bone Lady stripping back the hide

Creating jewelry with a sense of pride

Small skulls and talons and things left behind

Building a business of a different kind

Chorus

Oh my Lilli Raine

Special girl walking through the rain

My firstborn saw my darkest day

Now the sun won't go away

Oh Lilli Raine

Bridge

Did I do alright by you

A single dad just trying to see it through

Now you got Hannah by your side

A new daughter for me and a brand new bride

I love her like blood

She's the rising flood

Bringing peace to your heart

Where the new life can start

Verse 3

Lilli let's grab a beer and sit down

Just get you and your old man out of this town

Strengthen the bond like we used to do

'Cause ain't nobody in this world quite like you

Chorus

Oh my Lilli Raine

Special girl walking through the rain

My firstborn saw my darkest day

Now the sun won't go away

Oh Lilli Raine

Hook

The Appalachian Bone Lady

Making something beautiful

From the lonely remains

Yeah my Lilli Raine

Chorus

Oh my Lilli Raine

Special girl walking through the rain

My firstborn saw my darkest day

Now the sun won't go away

Oh Lilli Raine
