[00:00.01]Town Drunk - Love and Theft

[00:00.02]
[00:12.97]She used to come over to my house
[00:15.84]She only lived a few miles away
[00:19.15]I never knew why but my mama said
[00:21.97]If she wanted to she could stay
[00:25.53]A pretty little girl who fought like a boy
[00:28.47]But she wanted to hold my hand
[00:31.78]And the little blue dress that she always wore
[00:34.72]Yeah it might have been her only friend

[00:38.22]
[00:44.39]I remember that summer like yesterday
[00:47.40]She used to hang around all the time
[00:50.89]Down by the creek we would always play
[00:53.70]And tell secrets by the porch light
[00:57.08]Shy as a bird and timid as a flower
[01:00.02]I wonder where she grew up
[01:03.20]I never really thought that much about it
[01:06.39]But everybody said her daddy was the town drunk

[01:10.96]
[01:13.20]Broken like a bottle
[01:15.96]Running from the only home she ever had
[01:20.14]Tangled in the talk behind her back
[01:25.19]Yeah he thought she was nothing
[01:28.07]Growing like a w**d on the wrong side of the tracks
[01:34.88]How could anyone not love a girl like that

[01:42.38]
[01:44.63]One afternoon in the middle of town
[01:47.38]I saw her daddy sleeping on a bench
[01:51.84]So I walked up and introduced myself
[01:53.96]And said his daughter was my best friend
[01:57.21]He looked at me like he didn't care
[02:00.15]And asked me for a couple of bucks
[02:03.34]Right then I decided that I'd look after
[02:06.46]That pretty little girl whose daddy was the town drunk

[02:10.59]
[02:13.02]Broken like a bottle
[02:14.90]Running from the only home she ever had
[02:20.21]Tangled in the talk behind her back
[02:25.40]Yeah he thought she was nothing
[02:28.17]Growing like a w**d on the wrong side of the tracks
[02:34.92]How could anyone not love a girl like that girl like that

[02:45.10]
[02:51.14]Broken like a bottle
[02:53.71]Running from the only home she ever had
[02:58.08]Tangled in the talk behind her back
[03:03.21]Yeah he thought she was nothing
[03:06.14]Growing like a w**d on the wrong side of the tracks
[03:12.83]How could anyone not love a girl like that girl like that

[03:25.08]
[03:28.83]Several years later I read in the paper
[03:31.58]That her daddy had passed away
[03:34.96]I was holding her hand she had the baby in the other
[03:37.95]And there was really nothing I could say
[03:41.27]She looked at me and I gave her a kiss
[03:44.21]All that mattered was the three of us
[03:47.70]Nobody thought it would all work out
[03:50.45]For that pretty little girl
[03:53.45]Whose daddy was the town drunk
