Henry's Cry

Camilla had the front page of her towns magazine Headed to Hollywood dreams of being on the big screen And Henry from Athens drove 70 miles to get Camilla to stay Camilla wanted fame not a ring on her hand Henry packed up her luggage and said I'll wait for you as long as I can And Camilla left Milford and watched Henry's figure blur in her rearview mirror Henry wanted a red and white house and to swing his kids under the porch light But he let Camilla fly As she bathes in hotel pools and drinks Ballinger alone at night Henry crosses her mind And when you stand really still on Hollywood nights, you can still hear Henry's cry Camilla made her big box office debut And when she called Henry, he said he already knew, and every magazine column that Camilla got in was in a box under his bed Henry worked double shifts at Chevron every day and night To save for one-way flight As Camilla walks red carpets and attends parties at night Henry crosses her mind And when you stand really still on Hollywood nights, you can still hear Henry's cry Camilla made her way back to Milford one day And as she drove past a red and white house She knew that it was too late Camilla wanted two worlds but you get one and the others lost in hurt That's how it works Henry got the red and white house had two kids and made another his bride But dreams of Camilla every night And when you stand really still on Milford nights You can still hear Camilla's cry And when you stand really still on Hollywood nights you can still hear Henry's cry
