Carl Butler - My Joy lyrics
Oh Lord I know this thing Ive done is wrong And no excuse I give can make it right But Lord Ive been without her for so long My heart just over ruled the rules tonight Ive brought her here where no one ever comes Theyll never look for her down by the tracks Now here we set a baby and a bum And Lord I just dont want to take her back Joy is her name I know because I named her And her mommas not my wife anymore because I shamed her And I have been forbidden to even bring her toys So tonight I packed my pride and stole my Joy Here comes the train here comes the big decision Do we turn around or ride for San Antone Im man enough to want to take her with me But Im Dad enough to turn around and take her back home Yes tonight I packed my pride and stole my Joy
