David Allan Coe - Heaven only knows lyrics

David Allan Coe Live at billy bob's texas Heaven only knows You ain't daddy's little girl anymore Isn't that a crying shame? With your dreams of california Searching for your wealth and fame I can still see the tear drops Streamin down your face I can still hear you say "There's no future in this place." So you packed your belongings While I stood and watched you go Why I never tried to stop you Heaven only knows Through the years I got some post cards That is all that I recall Tellin me that you were happy But I never got one call You thought you knew all the answers When you where seventeen Someone just sent me your picture From some dirty magazine! And I've heard ya made some movies That I would not care to see I just know how much I love you And that don't mean a thing to me I guess your brother felt the same way I could not keep him on the farm They found his body in chicago With a needle in his arm I can still see the teardrops Streamin down his face I can still hear him say "There's no future in this place" While he packed his belongings Like you once did long ago Why I never tried to stop him Heaven only knows Now I am standing in this graveyard Where we layed your momma down I recall that preachers words now When they put her in the ground "it's your job to raise these children And I tried to do my best It's been ten years since we lost year From that cancer in her chest." I can feel the tear drops Streamin down my face Lately you know I"ve been thinkin There's no future in this place And I would pack my belongings But I've got no place to go Why the good lord doesn't take me Haven only knows But you ain't daddy's little girl anymore Isn't that a crying shame
