Her Daddy was a preacher man
Use to smile when he prayed
And he'd hold them in his arms and whisper
"Bless this child today"
Now she works in the city
Tired arms and bleeding hands
Money's so hard to come by
But she does what she can
He moved out not too long ago
Said she was cold to the touch
She gave her body to this one
But she didn't love him too much
See the boys they come and go
Never reaching her soul
And she cries when she's lonely
So scared of growing old
Now she got a ticket to Anywhere Georgia
Said it reminds her of home
She lookin' back at the city
Feelin' so alone
But she closes her eyes
Smiling just like her Daddy
She gives her life to Jesus
"Papa's gonna be so happy."
So happy
She said,
"Oh I've seen my trouble
Oh and I see my pain in the bed(?)
Oh and I've been so lonely
Oh but consider me this"
Now she got kids of her own
A son and two daughters
She don't feel too alone
She loves them like she oughta
Well they got her eyes
And they smile when they pray
And she's down on her knees saying
"Thank you for blessing me"
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
