Almost from First Ladies by Adam Tressler

rachel bought a satin dress and kept it fresh
she was going to show it off in washington
oh but on christmas eve her heart gave out
she died before she (would’ve) got her crown

when the general got sworn in
he was still a grieving man
a brand new/hero president
wearing a black arm band
with her portrait hanging around his neck

(still) kept her so close
miss jackson never had a chance
but very nearly almost, almost

rachel really loved her home in tennessee
surrounded by flowers faith/friends and family
she married an ambitious man with bigger plans
(soon) she was gonna have to leave all that//

the skeletons from her past
dug up as front page news
gossip behind her back
the spark that tripped the fuse
the general swore revenge
he hid in his White House room
with her picture/portrait hanging around his neck

sad end of a true romance
almost, almost

rachel finally had a chance to wear that dress
they buried her in it
