She Tried

[Bubba Sparxxx - talking] Uh huh, yeah Good Lord May God have mercy on my soul [Verse 1 - Bubba Sparxxx] I love her, but you never would know That by the way I just let my girl go With tears in her eyes from years of the lies She backed on up and disappeared out the drive Wait, hey, what can I say? All we had means nothin today I did my thing and she did hers But my crimes are a wee bit worse And now I'm sittin here all alone with my guilt Just me and the dogs in the home that we built It was Andy's and hers, even though Bubba bought it But Bubba wouldn't leave just like her mother called it From the pink, only to the blue blame God forgive me for causin you pain All it was, ain't no more Cause my baby's gone and when it rains it pours [Hook] She tried to tell me I needed to be strong I wasn't listening and now my baby's gone [Verse 2 - Bubba Sparxxx] One for the pleasure, two for the sin Three for the family we could a been Had I not been so concerned With this life, no spoken words Could begin to undue what's done Deep within I know that you must run Far away, from the thought of my smile And the broken dream of us walkin that aisle I first saw +Betty+ in my Nanny White's yard The breast where the best, and the fanny my lord A fly country girl, just workin them gifts She's my queen, was a virgin I guess But I ain't never ask and I ain't never tell But Betty had the cash every time I went to jail And how did I reward her loyalty Let her walk in and see her cousin Joy on me [Hook] I .. Uh, uh, uh [Verse 3 - Bubba Sparxxx] It's been six months and still no word I try to carry on like it still don't hurt Hoes come around but I still won't flirt Drinking's worse and the pills don't work Last I heard she was in Birmingham Livin with a good hard workin man And lookin back on it, that's exactly what she wanted Not a rebel with a passion for the moment I live for the fiddle and the kick in the snout I take my love and I stick it in there Moved a Jimmy and made this song All because my baby's gone [Hook]
