Emily comes home from school |
| [00:04.340] |
Grabs onto her daddy's hand |
| [00:12.330] |
He says, Baby girl, what's wrong with you? |
| [00:16.640] |
She says, Please don't make me go back there again |
| [00:21.150] |
|
| [00:24.330] |
She said, I wish there was someway to make them stop it. |
| [00:30.220] |
So he drives down to that principles office |
| [00:35.380] |
And says, I didn't bring her up so they could cut her down |
| [00:43.300] |
I didn't bring her here so they could shut her out |
| [00:48.680] |
I'd live my whole damn life to see that little girl smile |
| [00:55.200] |
So why are tears pouring down that sweet face? |
| [01:00.250] |
She wasn't brought up that way. |
| [01:05.490] |
|
| [01:09.599] |
Emily's home late again |
| [01:12.359] |
He sees that boy drive away |
| [01:20.619] |
Oh but something's different this time |
| [01:24.859] |
She doesn't have too much to say |
| [01:31.339] |
She said, He tried but there's just some things I won't do |
| [01:39.389] |
And through the tears she said, I couldn't do that to you |
| [01:43.728] |
|
| [01:45.409] |
And he said, I didn't bring you up so he could wear you down |
| [01:52.190] |
Take that innocent heart and turn it inside out |
| [01:57.758] |
I'd live my whole damn life to see my little girl smile |
| [02:04.590] |
So don't let nobody take that away |
| [02:09.379] |
You weren't brought up that way. |
| [02:15.099] |
|
| [02:22.519] |
|
| [02:28.728] |
|
| [02:39.719] |
The phone rings on a rainy night |
| [02:43.389] |
Says, It's Officer Tate |
| [02:47.789] |
He said,Sir, there's been an accident |
| [02:56.190] |
You'd better come down here right away |
| [03:01.290] |
A drunken driver missed an overpass |
| [03:09.499] |
And Emily she's fading fast. |
| [03:14.599] |
|
| [03:16.200] |
He says, God I didn't bring her up to watch them lay her down |
| [03:23.810] |
Nearly killed me the day they put her mama in the ground |
| [03:29.900] |
Only thing that kept me alive was that little girls smile |
| [03:36.410] |
So please don't take that away |
| [03:40.869] |
It won't be easy taking her today, she wasn't brought up that way. |
| [03:51.900] |
|
| [03:55.810] |
He stands over the hospital bed |
| [03:59.780] |
Emily opens her eyes |
| [04:06.820] |
|
| [04:09.240] |
|
