Cedar Key
Mary McGregor was the high school queen
Life of the party, cause of a scene
Wearing her dresses way too tight
Mary McGregor gave birth one night
Robby Thompson was the quarterback
As a father he did lack
Left Mary out there on her own
To raise her son, provide him a home
What are you doing in this place
I see the tender years upon your face
Pouring whiskey here for me
Making a living in Cedar Key
A single mother is never good
Mary gave her baby all that she could
Too many times she went without
Learning hard lessons in what life is about
One night it was pouring rain
Mary was running late again
The manager stormed across the floor
Snatched her apron. Showed her the door
What are you doing in this place
I see the tender years upon your face
Pouring whiskey here for me
Making a living in Cedar Key
His act was more than I could stand
Loud music played by the band
I grabbed him around the neck
Left the bar a total wreck
Now Mary and I are on the run
I'm proud that Danny is my son
We will overcome what may
Sharing love with each new day
What are you doing in this place
I see the tender years upon your face
Pouring whiskey here for me
Making a living in Cedar Key
What are you doing in this place
I see the tender years upon your face
Pouring whiskey here for me
Making a living in Cedar Key
Making a living in Cedar Key

Author Notes
Sometimes life has a funny way of twisting itself around you, doesn't it?
Days of Wine and Roses, by avmurray, selected to complement my song lyrics.
So, thanks avmurray, for the use of your picture. It goes so nicely with my song lyrics.
