Turned the TV on Drowned out her voice with the sound She didn't ask for them nine months gone You never thanked her for one no no no God blessed you on the day you were born in 1982 Sucked your tooth straight out of its socket, was a miracle it grew God blessed you with two legs a-moving and two arms that bust on through The black and blue, all the dirt all the world piled on top of you Oh regret's a sin, it's a waste of time they say It robs you of friends and it digs an early grave Six feet deep in red clay Why break your back just to find a resting place?

Turned the TV on Drowned out her voice with the sound She didn't ask for them nine months gone You never thanked her for one, no no no
