Bobby Darwins daughter looks up from the bible
Shes been reading to the clock on her dirty wall of a double wide, its 3 am.
Her husbands on the town shooting pool or foolin round,
Or all of the above it doesnt matter anymore,
She cant get through to him,
Seems like only yesterday they were married in a chapel.
Candlelight the whole nine yards,
Honeymoon in Vegas, they settled down.
Now its lonely nights and hungry kids,
She just keeps on looking for the life thats not the life shes living now.
Bobby Darwins daughter used to ask her father
Where Santa Clause and babies and God came from,
And as shes gotten older all those easy
Answers are somewhere between here and kingdom come,
And in her darkest hours Bobby Darwins daughter wishes she could go back when,
Shed ask where god came from instead of wondering where hes been.
Bobby Darwins daughter dropping off the kids driving home
In the pouring rain sudden skid and just like that
Shes clinging to her life,
Her husband rushes in the tiny room
And through his tears whispers I love you,
Baby please dont leave me now, youre my only life,
He bows his head and prays aloud this one thing I promise,
If I could get just one more chance to be the man
I should have been Ill be that man,
She awakens to another world, stares into his grateful eyes of love,
she smiles at him he takes her hand.
Bobby Darwins daughter used to ask her father
Where Santa Clause and babies and God came from,
And as shes gotten older all those easy
Answers are somewhere between here and kingdom come,
And in her darkest hours Bobby Darwins daughter never saw till now that
She was wrong about where God came From and that hes been here all along.
