American Young - God Sends A Train lyrics

[Verse 1: Kristy] I'd watch that little gla** angel swinging from the mirror every morning as I sat in the back Momma drove that beat-up laser through the woods and over those railroad tracks We didn't get much to eat at home, at school maybe nothing at all When you're a kid at twelve years old, you'd think it's all your fault [Interlude: Kristy] Ooh [Verse 2: Kristy] Mama'd lost my dad in her mind and married a crazy man He beat us with a Bible while preaching survival and waiting for the world to end In that creepy cold house off the grid by the tracks at the end of the road We got good at keeping secrets, mom And no one wanted to know [Verse: Kristy + Jon] Cuz sometimes God sends a whisper Carried in on the rain And when we don't want to listen Sometimes God sends a train [Interlude: Kristy] Ooh, ooh [Verse 3] One morning in high school history cla**, a chill ran down my back When they called my name on the intercom, I already knew it was bad They said her blazer was in pieces out there on those railroad tracks As I went to see what was left of her, I wonder would this bring her back [Chorus: Kristy + Jon] Cuz sometimes God sends a whisper Carried in on the rain And when we don't want to listen Sometimes God sends a train [Interlude: Kristy] Ooh, ooh [Verse 4] They said she'd never walk again but that first step she took was straight down to the courthouse, she got rid of his a** for good One day we got a visitor, it was that train engineer He told us kids "There must be a good reason your mom's still here," He said. "Ma'am I found this on that day, stuck to the front of my train." He handed my mom a gla** angel with a broken wing [Chorus] Cuz sometimes God sends a whisper Carried in on the rain And when we don't want to listen Sometimes God sends a train [Outro] Ooh, ooh
