Well the mother came and packed her bags and drove her off to 
nowhere 
and in the shadows of her second fathers shoulders 
she just stood there, crying, crying

then the wicked lies rolled off her tongue like woman soldiers marchin’
she ran from the truth like wounded men run from the darkness,
when they’re dyin’
she’s dyin’

and I told her I loved her and she told me she’s leaving
just like every other person in my life that I believed in
and as she slammed the door and walked away
I turned on my radio, oh
And I played her a dancing song to guide her home

And I had more faith in her than her mother had in Jesus
But like Judas she rebuked my name for jewels and silver pieces
A wedding ring, a wedding ring

Her words were sharp and her sword was swift 
Lord I had been forsaken
By my one true love, my one true love

and I told her I loved her and she told me she’s leaving
then I looked her in the eyes and said it was you that I believed in
but she still slammed the door and walked away, 
so I turned on my radio, oh
and I played her a dancing song to guide her home

and as I lie alone tonight in the bed we built and once shared
I wonder where you are and who you’re with, do you think that he cares
About you, about you 

Now I am not a godly man my roots twisted and sinful
But to have you back I’d bow my head and sing a southern Baptist 
hymnal
Hallelujah, hallelujah
