You had to leave,
You had to go...

Fourteen, calling to her mama,
Ran away from home...

Daddy comes in early,
Says it's time for school...

Why'd you leave me,
Why'd you leave us...

You play with girls hearts,
And you play with their head...

God picks certain angels,
To go and live in the world...

I sit here thinking about the times we had,
Trying to forget the good, and remember the bad...

I wish I may,
I wish I might...

I roll over in my bed,
Sweet aroma fills the air...

I look out the window,
And I see the birds outside...

Rough at work,
Soft at home...

To see you walk away,
And grab her by the hand...
