Chaos Parade

There's an ashtray sittin' on the table Half-full of cigarettes I don't recall It's been there longer than my coffee Longer than the picture on the wall
I swear it's seen more heartbreak Than a country song on radio It's held every word I couldn't say And every fire that's lost its glow
I could toss it out tomorrow But we've come too far to part It's the last thing left around here That's still smokin' like my heart
I'm holdin on (Yes sir) I'm holdin on I'm holding Just holding on
This old ashtray has seen it all From good love to a bad last call It's holdin' on To all I've thrown away It's just me and my old ashtray
Well, I could throw it out But what's the use It knows me better Than my own excuse There ain't no point In changin' now We've both seen too much anyhow
