David Allan Coe live at billy bob's texas Heaven only knows You ain't daddy's little girl anymore, isn't that a crying shame? With your dreams of california, searching for your wealth and fame. I can still see the tear drops, streamin down your face. I can still hear you say, "There's no future in this place." So you packed your belongings, while I stood and watched you go, why I never tried to stop you, heaven only knows. Through the years I got some post cards, that is all that I recall, tellin me that you were happy, but I never got one call. You thought you knew all the answers, When you where seventeen, someone just sent me your picture, from some dirty magazine! And I've heard ya made some movies, that I would not care to see, I just know how much I love you, and that don't mean a thing to me. I guess your brother felt the same way, I could not keep him on the farm, they found his body in chicago, with a needle in his arm. I can still see the teardrops, streamin down his face, I can still hear him say, "There's no future in this place" While he packed his belongings like you once did long ago, why I never tried to stop him, heaven only knows. now I am standing in this graveyard, where we layed your momma down, I recall that preachers words now, when they put her in the ground. "it's your job to raise these children, and I tried to do my best, it's been ten years since we lost year, from that cancer in her chest." I can feel the tear drops, streamin down my face, lately you know I"ve been thinkin, there's no future in this place. And I would pack my belongings, but I've got no place to go, why the good lord doesn't take me, haven only knows. But you ain't daddy's little girl anymore, isn't that a crying shame. |
