Custody

Today dear you've heard a real grown up word

When you've heard the judge say custody

So little darling how I'd try before saying goodbye

To explain what that word means to me

(Custody) custody means coming home at night

To the emptiest house in this lonely world

(Custody) and custody is just a picture in my WALLET

And it's all that I've got left to my little girl

(Custody) and custody means no more carryin' a sleepin' princess

To her bed at the end of the day

(Custody) and custody means that no more little girl

With A SCRAPED KNEE will ask me to kiss her tears away

Little angel don't cry now you can smile if you try

You're going with mama so kiss daddy goodbye

(Custody) and custody means no more pretty little helper in blue jeans

Follow me around when I cut THE LAWN

(Custody) and custody means no more frightenin' little girl in my arms

Durin' a thunder and a lightnin' storm

(Custody) and custody means that this day ends just before it really begins

(Custody) and custody means a fight between grownups
that little girl never wins

Little angel don't cry you can smile if you try

You're goin' with mama so kiss daddy goodbye
