Georgia Lee
[Verse 1]
Well, cold was the night, and hard was the ground,
They found her in a small grove of trees,
And lonesome was the place ...where Georgia was found,
She's too young to be out on the street!
[Chorus]
Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
[Verse 2]
Ida said she couldn't keep Georgia from dropping out of school,
"I was doing the best that I could,
Oh, but she just kept running ...a way from this world,
These children are so hard to raise good!"
[Chorus]
Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening
Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
[Bridge]
Close your eyes, and count to ten, and I will go and hide,
But then, be sure to find me, I want you to find me,
And we'll play ...all over, we'll play ...all over,
We'll play ...all over a gain!
[Verse 3]
There's a toad in the witch grass, there's a crow in the corn,
Wild flowers on a cross by the road,
And somewhere a baby ...is crying for her mom,
As the hills turn from green back to gold!
[Chorus]
Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
