Brought Up That Way
Emily comes home from school, grabs onto her daddy's hand
\r\nHe says “ Baby girl whats wrong with you?”
\r\nShe says “ Please don’t make me go back there again”
\r\nShe said “ I wish there was some way to make ‘em stop it”
\r\nSo he drives down to that principles office and says
\r\n
\r\n“I didn’t bring her up so they could cut her down
\r\nI didn’t bring her here so they could shut her out
\r\nI live my whole damn life to see that little girl smile
\r\nSo why are tears pouring down that sweet face?
\r\nShe wasn’t brought up that way”
\r\n
\r\nEmily’s home late again
\r\nHe sees that boy drive away
\r\nOh but somethings different this time, she doesn’t have too much to say
\r\nShe said “ He tried but there's just some things I won’t do\"
\r\nAnd through the tears she said \"I couldn’t do that to you”
\r\n
\r\nAnd he said “ I didn’t bring you up so he could wear you down
\r\nTake that innocent heart and turn it inside out
\r\nI live my whole damn live to see my little girl’s smile
\r\nSo don’t let nobody take that away
\r\nYou weren't brought up that away”
\r\n
\r\nThe phone rings on a rainy night
\r\nsays “it officer tate”
\r\nHe said “ sir there's been an accident, you better come down here right away
\r\nA drunken driver missed an over pass, and Emily she's fading fast”
\r\nHe says “God”
\r\n
\r\nI didn’t bring her up to watch them lay her down
\r\nNearly killed me today, they put her own momma in the ground
\r\nOnly thing that kept me alive, was that little girl’s smile
\r\nSo please don’t take that away
\r\nIt won’t be easy taking her today
\r\nShe wasn’t brought up that way ”
\r\n
\r\nHe stands over the hospital bed
\r\nEmily opens her eyes.
