Intro: C Am G (twice)
C
Her Parents never took the young girl to church
Am G
Never spoke of his name, never read her his word
C
Two nonbelievers walking lost in this world
Am G
Took their baby with them what a sad little girl
C
Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
Am G
Never wanted to play or give kisses and hugs
C
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch
Am G
while her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out
Bridge
G Am G Gb C G
and the drinking and the fighting just got worse every night
G Am G Gb C G
behind their couch she'd be hiding oh what a sad little life
Repeat Intro: C Am G
C
And like it always does the bad just got worse
Am G
with every slap and every curse
C
until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
Am G
used a gun on her mom and then took his life
Bridge
G Am G Gb C G
and some people from a city took the girl far away
G Am G Gb C G
to a new mom and a new dad kisses and hugs every day
Repeat Intro: C Am G
Verse
C
her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in
Am G
and a small little girl stared at a picture of him
C
she said I know that man up there on that cross
Am G
I don't know his name but I know he got off
Bridge
G Am G Gb C G
cause he was there in my old house and held me close to his side
G Am G Gb C G
as I hid there behind our couch the night that my parents died
