love theft - town drunk lyrics
she used to come over to my house, she only lived a few miles away
i never knew why but my mama said if she wanted to she could stay
a pretty little girl who fought like a boy but she wanted to hold me hand
and the little blue dress that she always wore,
yeah it might have been her
only friend
i remember that summer like yesterday she used 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 wonder where she grew up
i never really thought that much about it,
but everybody said her daddy was
the town drunk
broken like a bottle,
running from the only hole she ever had,
tangled in the talk behind her back
yeah he thought she was nothing,
growing like a weed on the wrong side of
the trscks
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 and introduced myself
and said his daughter was my best friend
he looked at me like he didn’t care and asked me for a couple of bucks
right then i decided that i’d look after that pretty little girl whos daddy
was the town drunk
broken like a bottle,
running from the only hole she ever had,
tangled in the talk behind her back
yeah he thought she was nothing,
growing like a weed on the wrong side of
the trscks
how could anyone not love a girl like that
a girl like that
broken like a bottle,
running from the only hole she ever had,
tangled in the talk behind her back
yeah he thought she was nothing,
growing like a weed on the wrong side of
the trscks
how could anyone not love a girl like that
a girl like that
several years later i read in the paper that her daddy had p-ssed away
i was holding her hand she had the baby in the other and there was really
nothing i could say
she looked at me and i gave her a kiss all that mattered was he three of us
n-body thought it would all work out for that pretty little girl
whos daddy was the town drunk
