Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs Never wanted to play Or give kisses hugs She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch While her mom fell asleep And her daddy went out
And the drinking and the fighting just got worse night Behind their couch be hiding Oh what a sad little life And like it always does, the bad just got worse With every slap and every curse Until her daddy in a drunk rage one Used a gun on her mom and then took life
And some people from the city took the girl far away To a new mom and a new dad kisses hugs everyday Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in And a small little girl Stared at a picture of
She said I know that man up there on that cross I don't know His name But I know He got off Cause He was there in my old house and held me close to His side As I there behind our couch The night that my parents died
