Lyrics
Prepare yourself This song is sad Some people out there Are just plain bad. You cornered me I told a lie You beated me Just to see me cry Mama couldn't take your lovin' Pa Hittin' on her was all I saw. I'll be good Daddy, I promise you I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what did I do? Why do you have To hurt me Pa? Ya' slap my face Until I'm raw A man come by I heard em' yell Papa swore me To never tell Mama couldn't take your lovin' Pa Hittin' on her was all I saw. I'll be good Daddy, I promise you I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what did I do? I fight the dog To take his food I'm so hungry Ah, hardly move I hide in the closet When you come home Is it cigarette burns Or broken bone(s). I'll be good Daddy, I promise you I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what did I do? Seen him throw my brother down a wishin' well Will heaven take a baby that's been through hell? I think I know Somethin's wrong Where's my Mama It's been too long My mother ran away `Cause it hurt so bad Left me with you, Now ain't that sad Mama couldn't take your lovin' Pa Hittin' on her was all I saw. I'll be good Daddy, I promise you I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry what could I do? I took Daddy's gun And with no remorse From now on Daddy... You'll be kicking a dead horse.
