The Little Girl Lyrics - John Michael Montgomery

Her parents never took the young girl to church 

Never spoke of His name never read her His word 

Two non-believers 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 the city 

Took the girl far away 

To a new mom and a new dad 

Kisses and hugs everyday 

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 

He held me close to His side 

As I hid there behind our couch 

The night that my parents died
