Introduction:
G C G
By the time you were born there were four other siblings
G D
With your Mama awaiting your Daddy in jail
G C G
Your oldest brother was away at a home
G D G
And you didn't meet him 'til you was nineteen years old
G C G
Old enough to know better, old enough to know better
G D
But you took to his jaw line and long sandy hair
G C G
How he made you feel like none off the others
G D G
And the way he looked at you touched you deep down in there.
G C G
So you jumped on his bike and rode into the sunset
G D
But the sequel it started with the next morning sun
G C G
And the dew on the bike seat and you all a glow
G D G
From the love he put in you and a life on the run.
G C G
So you moved to a small town, and then to another
G D
And then to another with another on its way
G C G
And you both swore to God you would keep it together
G D G
And the State wouldn't take your babies away
C G
Now, the District Attorney said he might of forgiven
G D
You had lots of reasons to turn out this way
G C G
But you'll both go to jail for them four little babies
G D G
You made and delivered along the way
G C
Last night you had a dream about a Lord so forgiving
G D
He might show compassion for a heathen he damned
G C G
You awoke in a jail cell, alone and so lonely
G D G
Seven years in Michigan
