lyrics

When the sea sent me a hurricane, I survived
Through a hole in my roof I saw a black sky
I got water through the floor and a boat through the door
Can’t call that a home no more
Sea sent me a hurricane and I survived

And the devil took my Daddy and I survived
You see Daddy took to drinkin’, me-oh-my
I survived his cussin’, his drinkin’, his sin
No I can’t say the same for him
Devil he took my Daddy and I survived
And the war took my brother and I survived

He was serving his country in the front line
And he died by a bullet, friend or foe?
The U.S. Government still don’t know
Someone killed my brother and I don’t know why
Oh please, tell me why?

Jesus took my baby, why Lord why?
Why Lord him and not I?
A life would end before it’d start
No greater pain for a parent’s heart
Jesus took my baby’nd only he knows why
And now you standing at my door

Saying you leaving tonight
You know you ain’t ever been worth a tear from my eye
You calling me cheap and worthless down by the bar
Who the hell do you think you are?

You want to leave? You get to steppin’ tonight
I ain’t gonna tell you again, good-bye
Let me say it loud and clear one more time
That without you I know I can
Survive
