Karaoké The Little Girl John Michael Montgomery

Her parents never took the young girl to church

Never spoke of his name never read her his word

Two non believers walkin' lost in this world

Took their baby with them what a sad little girl

Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs

Never wanted to play or give kisses and hugs

She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch

While her Mom fell asleep and her daddy went out

And the drinking and the fighting just got worse every night

Behind their couch she'd be hiding oh what a sad little life

And like it always does the bad just got worse

With every slap and every curse

Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night

Used a gun on her Mom and then took his life

And some people from the city took the girl far away

To a new Mom and a new Dad kisses and hugs every day

Her first day of sunday school the teacher walked in

And a small little girl stared at a picture of him

She said I know that man up there on that cross

I don't know his name but I know he got off

'Cos he was there in my old house and held me close to his side

As I hid there behind our couch the night that my parents died
