[00:19] She walks the halls in a white lace
[00:23] A glass of Daddy's bourbon in her hand
[00:26] Daddy's not around to drink it anyway
[00:30] He's planted six feet under Alabama land
[00:37] My brother wore the uniform
[00:41] My mother waited out on the porch
[00:44] My lover played that fluglehorn
[00:48] Back when he was carrying the torch
[00:52] Back when he was carrying the torch
[01:02] She never listens to the radio
[01:06] She listens to the music playing in her head
[01:10] When there's a party she doesn't care to go
[01:14] She stays at home and looks at pictures instead
[01:18] One of her brother in the uniform
[01:22] One of her mother out on the porch
[01:25] Photo of her lover playing flugelhorn
[01:29] Back when he was carrying the torch
[01:33] Back when he was carrying the torch
[01:40] Mama never liked his music anyway
[01:44] Daddy never liked that St. Louis look
[01:47] They sent him back by Greyhound way
[01:51] With twenty-five bucks and the holy book
[02:29] Now she sits alone and waits for nights
[02:33] Sings a melody from days gone by
[02:37] After thirty years it feels alright
[02:41] No one left even wonders why
[02:45] No one left even wonders why
[02:52] She lost that old uniform
[02:55] She never sits out on the porch
[02:59] She's still got that flugelhorn
[03:03] No one left carrying the torch
[03:07] No one left carrying the torch
[03:11] No one left carrying the torch
[03:14] No one left carrying the torch
[03:18] No one left carrying the torch
