(VERSE 1)
C F C
Her parents never took the young girl to church
F C Am G
Never spoke of his name, never read her his words
C F C
Two non-believers walking lost in this world
F C Am G
Took their baby with them what a sad little girl
(Verse 2)
C F C
Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
F C Am G
Never wanted to play, or give kisses and hugs
C F C
She'd watch the TV and sit there on that couch
F C Am G
While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out
(Chorus 1)
Am F
And the drinking and the fighting
C G
Just got worse every night
Am F
Behind their couch she'd be hiding
C G
Oh what a sad little life

C F C
And like it always does the bad just got worse
F C Am G
With every slap and every and curse
C F C
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
F C Am G
Used a gun on her mom & then took his life
(Chorus 2)
Am F
And some people from the city
C G
took the girl far away
Am F
to a new mom and a new dad
C G
Kisses and hugs every day

C F C
First day of Sunday school the teacher walked in
F C Am G
And a small little girl stared at a picture of him
C F C
She said I know that man up there on that cross
F C Am G
I don't know his name but I know he got off
( Chorus 3 )
Am F
Cos he was there in my old house
C G
And held me close to his side
Am F
As I hid there behind our couch
C G
The night that my parents died
