Box It Came In

(Vic McAlpin)



My clothes are all ragged

My goodwill coat's not the best

And I'm a walking on cardboard

In my last dollar dress.



I looked in the closet

For my wedding gown

But the box that it came in

Was all that I found.



He took everything with him

That wasn't nailed down

Bet he's got a new sweetheart

To fill my wedding gown.



But somewhere I'll find him

Then I'll have peace of mind

And the box he comes home in

Will be all satin lined.
