The Little Girl
[C]Her parents never took the [Am]young girl to [C]church
Never [Am]mentioned his [C]name, never [Am]mentioned his [G]word
[C]Two nonbelievers walking [Am]lost in this [C]world
Took their [Am]baby with [C]them what a [Am]sad little [G]girl
[C]Her daddy drank all day and [Am]mommy did [C]drugs
Never [Am]wanted to [C]play or give [Am]kisses and [G]hugs
[C]She’d watch the TV and sit [Am]there on the [C]couch
While her [Am]mom fell a[C]sleep and her [Am]daddy went [G]out…
(CHORUS)
And the [Am]drinking and the [F]fighting
[C]Just got worse every [G]night
Behind [Am]their couch she’d be [F]hiding
[C]Oh what a sad little [G]life
[C]And like it always does the [Am]bad just got [C]worse
With [Am]every s[C]lap and [Am]every [G]curse
[C]Until her daddy in a [Am]drunk rage one [C]night
Used a [Am]gun on her [C]mom and [Am]then took his [G]life
(CHORUS)
[Am]And some people from the [F]city
[C]Took the girl far [G]away
[Am]To a new mom and a [F]new dad
[C]Kisses and hugs ever[G]yday
[C]Her first day of Sunday school
The [Am]teacher walked [C]in
And a [Am]sad little [C]girl stared at a [Am]picture of [G]him
[C]She said I know that man up [Am]there on that [C]cross
I [Am]don’t know his [C]name, but I [Am]know he got [G]off
(CHORUS)
Cause he was[Am] there in my [F]old house
[C]And held me close to his [G]side
As I [Am]hid there behind [F]our couch
[C]The night that my parents [G]died
