love and theft - town drunk lyrics

Loading...

town drunk

she used to come over to my house, she only lived a few miles away
never knew why but my mama said fi she wanted she could stay
a pretty little girl who fought like a boy but she wanted to hold my hand
in a little blue dress that she always wore, yeah, i might have been her only friend

i remember that summer like yesterday, she ted to hang around all the time
down by the creek we would always play and tell secrets by the porch light
shy as a bird and timid as a flower i wondered where she grew up
i never really thought that much about it but everybody said her daddy was the town drunk

[chorus:]
broken like a bottle, running from the only home she ever had
tangled in the talk behind her back
yeah, he thought she was nothin, growing like a weed on the wrong side of the tracks
how could anyone not love a girl like that?

one afternoon in the middle of town, i saw her daddy sleeping on a bench
so i walked up to him and introduced myself, said his daughter was my best friend
he looked at me like he didn’t care and he asked me for a couple bucks
right then i decided i’d look after that pretty little girl whose daddy was the town drunk

[repeat chorus]

a girl like that

[repeat chorus]

a girl like that

several years later, i read in the paper that her daddy had p-ssed away
i was holdin’ her hand, she had the baby in the other there was really nothing i could say
she looked at me and i have her a kiss
all that really mattered was the three of us
n-body thought it’d all work out for that little girl who was the town drunk
