Chorus - Mister Hampton Verse 1 That girl she has a heart but all see is pain A bullet in the brain and two more in the frame Change, why, is she left to die She speak that love love but they saying goodbye Oh, is she destine for that slavery Girl in them chains but that change came eventually Heart still alive but she's dead to this century She says he knows it all but living in a mystery Will, she ever see the sunshine Behind the lines of a enemy that keeps you blind Now, I wonder what you call it Lady in that mirror and she's looking like a sergeant Called to that duty as she looking for that battlefield Love of her life made more than her body ill But she still keeps the porch light on Sittin' in the chair as she's waits by the phone Chorus - Mister Hampton Verse 2 That boy he got that pain I see it in his heart He looking for light while he stay in the dark He stay up on his pimpin' He said his pimpin' strong Stay with a yellow bone so why he's all alone So while he's all alone he's searching for his relevance Letter in the mail came knocking on his residents Tears hit his eyes as he cried for that love affair He looks up, his life spared He wondered, will he ever know the meanin' To that lost love that kept his heart beatin' She's a pretty girl and he met her on that battlefield Sergeant told that boy you got to plan before you take the hill You know the deal she says to him The "us" that we cherish just became a them He got scared and he ran away Will he ever find a future in his yesterday, gone Chorus - Mister Hampton
