Lyrics
Big Chris was an electrician
He worked on Yvonne's house
That's how she met him
Yvonne asked him out
He'd pick her up in the evenings
in his electrician van
Mostly they would just talk
& he'd hold her hand
They'd ride around in his van
with his name on the side
& Yvonne felt protected
like everything was alright
Laney was only 7
Chris treated her like his own
Laney's dad Jamie was jealous
He couldn't leave it alone
Yvonne found out she was pregnant
Chris went & bought her a ring
He said "We'll be a family
I'll take care of everything"
They'd go ride his van
with his name on the side
& when Jamie would see them
it ate him up inside
One night when Chris was out drinking
watching a game at the bar
Jamie started in on him
& took it too far
They ended up on the sidewalk
Somebody called up Yvonne
By the time that she got there
Jamie had shot Chris & run
You know
we still have his van
Still has his name on the side
It's been parked in the driveway
as long as I've been alive
Jamie's still out there running
Laney lives with a friend
It's just me & Yvonne
She never married again
I know that she's had a hard time
raising kids on her own
We fight all the time
I hate being at home
Someday I'll fix up his van
I'll keep his name on the side
I'm gonna get out of Richmond
& vanish into the night
