David Allan Coe - Heaven Only Knows songtekst

Je score:

 You aint 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 teardrops

Streaming down your face

I can still hear you say

Theres 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 postcards

That is all that I recall

Telling me that you were happy

But I never got one call

You thought you knew all the answers

When you were 17

Someone just sent me your picture

From some dirty magazine

And I've heard you 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

Streaming down his face

And I can still hear him say

Theres no future in this place

While he packed his belongins

Like you once did long ago

Why I never tried to stop him

Heaven only knows



Now I'm standing in this graveyard

Where we laid 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 10 years since we lost her

From that cancer in her chest



I can feel the teardrops

Streaming down my face

Lately you know I've been thinking

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 doesnt take me

Heaven only knows



But you aint Daddy's little girl anymore

Isn't that a crying shame
