[Verse 1]
What will you do now momma?
How can you go on?
Yesterday you packed her bags
And now your daughter's gone
[Verse 2]
I can never understand
What you're going through
All that I can tell you
Is I wrote a song for you
[Verse 3]
What will you do now brother?
Where will you now go?
The one who learned to live before you
And taught you all you know
[Verse 4]
He's gone he won't be coming home
Though he might be some place new
I can't imagine how you feel
But this song is for you
[Verse 5]
What will you do now daddy
Now that your child's dead?
You've got all these clothes
An empty room an empty bed
[Verse 6]
The pictures of your life's together
Cuts your heart in two
You probably won't hear it
But I wrote a song for you
[Verse 7]
What will you do now sister
She has left you here
All though she is gone
I bet you hear her voice so clear
[Verse 8]
Now she's in the papers
And the television to
Everybody cries for her
But this song is for you
[Verse 9]
Well what we're doing now it is
Nothing like the plan
We won't lock the gates
We'll go out and lend our hand
[Verse 10]
Yesterday was a crossroad
So heartbreaking and blue
For everyone back in the ditch
I wrote this song for you
