John Michael Montgomery
Her Parents never took
The young girl to church
Never spoke of his name
Never read her his word
Two nonbelievers walking
Lost in this world
Took their baby with them
What a sad little girl
Her daddy drank all day
And mommy did drugs
Never wanted to play
Or give kisses and hugs
She’d watch the TV and sit
There on the couch
While her mom fell asleep
And her daddy went out
And the drinking
And the fighting
Just got worse every night
Behind their couch
She'd be hiding
Oh what a sad little life
And like it always does
The bad just got worse
With every slap
And every curse
Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
Used a gun on her mom
And then took his life
And some people
From a city
Took the girl far away
To a new mom
And a new dad
Kisses and hugs every day
Her first day of Sunday school
The teacher walked in
And a small little girl
Stared at a picture of him
She said I know that man
Up there on that cross
I don’t know his name
But I know he got off
Cause he was there in
My old house
And held me close to his side
As I hid there
Behind our couch
The night that my parents died
