Mom and Dad took me to church, |
|
To learn the Word, |
|
And speak it good |
|
I'm sure I was a good enough little girl |
|
Made them proud |
|
Sing it loud |
|
Oh mister judge I wasn't always this way |
|
I just changed one day, realized life's quite the little parade |
|
For a little girl with a freckled face |
|
I smiled wide, guess i lost my pride, |
|
Guess I lost my pride |
|
Oh I looked straight into the face of jesus |
|
I lifted up my hands and grabbed another man |
|
Oh when i was a little a girl |
|
I made a due, |
|
Fall in love again, |
|
Teach myself the blues, teach myself the blues |
|
That's when i found the bottle and started smoking cigarettes |
|
And I started talking meaner and then I packed up my dress |
|
Oh bless this mess, oh bless this mess |
|
So don't tell me about the good Word |
|
Don't tell me about the finer things in life |
|
Don't tell me about your picket fence, |
|
Your dodd and loving wife |
|
Please just give me a glass of red wine and a steel six string guitar, |
|
If you want to preach the good life then I'll meet you at the bar |
|
So Mom and Dad took me to church to learn the Word to speak it good |
|
I'm sure I was a good enough little girl |
|
Made them proud, sing it loud |
|
I will sing it now |
|
I will sing it now |
