The Yard Sale Sammy Kershaw Lyrics

Cardboard sign says Yard Sale
Real estate sign says sold
Family picnic table holds all that it can hold
On the grass and on the sidewalk
well there must be half the town
Ain't it funny how a broken home 
Can bring the prices down

Oh they're sorting through 
Whats left of you and me
Paying yard sale prices
For each golden memory
oh I never thought 
I'd ever live to see
The way there sorting through 
Whats left of you and me

You left two summer dresses
In the backyard on the line 
A lady just brought them to me
Says she thinks they'll fit just fine
Well there goes the baby's wagon
And the mirror down the hall
I'd better take just one last look
Before they take it all down

Well I wonder what you'd say 
If you could see 
The way there sorting through 
Whats left of you and me
