She was only 16, didn't know the first thing about life
Just tryin' to do right & just doin' her momma wrong
And her daddy walked out, he was talked out, no more hangin' about
Tryin' to keep his happy face on, guess papa ain't that strong

Every now and then she would praise her momma to the lord
And with tears in her eyes, she'd remember that night
After hearing them fight, she would never trust a man, no, never again
With the graying in her hair and the wisdom of age
She would try to forgive the man no one could save, no one could save her.
