pictures on the wall, bottle in her hand
children never call, she misses her old man
Rain on the window, quiet as a tear
And if you never felt'em, you'll never know there here
Someone's cryin' in the hall
Good Lord help us all
While we try to stay afloat
if you would Lord
send a boat
Verse
Holes in the wall, bottle by his bed
Holes in his past, empty as his head
He's younger when he dreams, he's older than his years
if if he never wakes up he'll know why he's here
someones crying in the hall
Good Lord help us all
while we try to stay afloat
if you would Lord
send a boat
Instrumental
Verse
Writings on the wall, bruise on his face
daddy's come and go, his mama's on a date
hes just cold and hungry, playing ain't no fun
and if he ever grows up, he'll get him a gun
someones cryin' in the hall
Good Lord help us all
why we try to stay afloat
if you would Lord
send a boat
