mother came and packed her bags
And drove her off to nowhere
she just stood there crying.
Then the wicked lies rolled off her tongue
like war -bound soldiers marching and
she ran from the truth like wounded
Did men run from the darkness
And I told her I loved her,
and she told me she's leavin'.
Just like every other person in my life
Oh no, and I played her a dancing song
And I had more faith in her
than her mother had in Jesus
But like Ju das she rebuked my name
for jewels and silver pieces
A wedding ring, a wedding ring
her eyes filled with desperation
Lord, I have been forsaken
And I told her I loved her
And she told me she's leaving
Just like every other person in my life
Oh no, and I played her a dancing song,
in the bed we built and once shared
do you think that he cares about you,
Now I am not a godly man,
my rules twisted and sinful,
I'd bow my and sing a Southern
