Intro: C Csus2 C Csus2 C G C
C Csus2 C
1 Her parents never took the young girl to church
2 Her daddy drank all day and momma did drugs
3 And like it always does the bad just got worse
4 The first day of sunday school the teacher walked in
Dm C Am G
Never spoke of His name; never read her His word
Never wanted to play or give kisses and hugs
With every slap and every curse
And a small little girl stared at a picture of Him
C Csus2 C
Two non believers walkin lost through this world
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
She said I know that man up there on that cross
Dm C Am G
Took their baby with them, what a sad little girl
While mom fell asleep and her daddy went out.
pulled a gun on her mom and then took his life
I don't know His name but I know He got off
CHORUS
G/A Am G/B F
1 And the drink - ing and the fight - ing
2 Then some people from the ci - ty
3 He was there in my old house
C G
just got worse every night
took the girl far away
and held me close to His side
G/A Am G/B F
Behind their couch she'd be hid - ing
Too a new mom and a new dad
AsI hid there our couch
C G
Oh what a sad little life
kisses and hugs everyday
the night that my parents died
play intro again, and to end the song
