ed but I never did believe herHe said, Most girls do. So he drives down to the liquor storeAnd won t be home anymore. He said, I didn t bring her up so he could wear her downI didn t bring her here so she could run this townWon t be another thing for him to saySo why are tears pouring down that sweet face?She wasn t brought up that way. Before Emily got her wingsShe dreamed of picket fences and her wedding dayShe never thought that she would fly away. She never thought that she would run awayBut she did. She doesn t know nobody cares. She s got no one to hold her. She s got no reason to believe that she’ll ever be loved. She says, I wish there was someway to make them stop it. So he drives down to the shelter and she walks up slowlyLooks in the window and she sees her familyAnd he says, Didn t bring you up so they could cut you downDidn t bring you here so they could shut you outHe s lived his whole damn life to see his little girl smileSo why are tears pouring down that sweet face?She wasn t brought up that way.
