Bright Enough That You Shield Your Eyes by Eric McCoy (Texas) Lyrics

She looked up
And happened to see
Her face in a mirror
She didn't like what she saw
All the makeup she bought
Hasn't done a thing

She sat down
Inched closer to him
He just looked away
He didn't like what he saw
That's what she thought
They never do

Thirty looms near
There's no fancy house
No fancy car
Just a microwave clock
That's two minutes off
And a bed that's only
Used for sleep
She pulls out her phone
And glances down
When people are near

The phone's ringing
And it's her mom calling
Best to let it go to voicemail
Everyone's saying to go out more
But it's never worth the hassle

The lights go up at the 7-11
Bright enough that you shield your eyes
A slice of pizza
Eight buck wine
Get in the car and go back home
