Brought Up That Way
Ton : CEnglish
Emily Gcomes home from school
Grabs on to her daddy's hG6and
He says bGaby girl what's wrong with you
She says please don't make me go bG6ack there again
She said I wCish there was some way to make 'em sC2top it
So heC drives down to that pGrincDipal's office and says
I didn't bGring her up
So they could cG6ut her down
I didn't bCring her here
So they could sC2hut her out
I live my wGhole damn life
To see that lG6ittle girl smile
So why are tCears pouring down that sweet fC2ace?
She wasn't brought up that Gway
EGmily's home late again
He sees that boy drive aG6way
Oh but sGomething's different this time
She doesn't have too mG6uch to say
She said he tCried but there just some things I won't dC2o
And through the tCears she said I couldn't do that to yGou
And heD said
I Gdidn't bring you up
So he could wG6ear you down
Take that iCnnocent heart
And turn it iC2nside out
I live my wGhole damn life
To see my lG6ittle girl smile
So don't lCet nobody take that awGay
You weren't brought up that wG6ay

TGhe phone rings on a rainy night
Says it's Officer TC(add9)ate
He said SGir there's been an accident
You better come down hC(add9)ere right away
A dCrunken driver missed an over-pC2ass
And ECmily she's fading fGast he says GDod
I didn't bGring her up
To watch them lG6ay her Down
Nearly kCilled me the day they put her mC2ama in the ground
Only thing kGept me alive was that lG6ittle girl's smile
So pClease don't take that awGay
It won't be eCasy taking her tGoday
She wasn't brought up that G6way
HGe stands over the hospital bed
Emily opens her eCyes
