Her Legacy
©2004 Corey Parkman/Scott Word

She said there was no room for her dreams
In this little backwoods town
Said she was ready to try her wings
Leave this patch of ground
She wanted to see how far she could get
Wanted to be remembered
Well I don’t know if she’s made it yet
But she was true to her word

’Cause she’s already gone and left her mark
A trail of scars across my broken heart
Tatters and tears are all she left of me
A lost and lonely man, that's her legacy

Now a quiet two bedroom house
Stands in memorial
It’s filled with shadows, regrets and doubt
Old pictures down the hall
And here at this bar just across town
The smoke hangs like a ghost
With a half empty bottle of Crown
In her name I raise a toast

Oh she’s already gone and left her mark
A trail of scars across my broken heart
Tatters and tears are all she left of me
A lost and lonely man, that's her legacy

Bridge
The truth in her words is forever burned in my mind
She always said she wanted to leave something behind

(Repeat Chorus)
