She don't like her ma and pa,
She hang around me now,
She hang around me now.
She wants to leave it all,
She hang around me now,
She hang around me for now.

She always says her prayers,
Oh hold my hand,
Jesus hold my hand.
She says that the good lord cares,
Oh he understands,
Jesus understands.

She's worth her weight in gold,
She don't always do what she's told.
She'll find her way somehow,
She'll hang around me now.
She hang around me now.

She kills all her time with booze,
Sometimes she cries,
Sometimes she cries.
She says she's got nothin' to lose.
Lord knows she tries.
Lord knows she tries.

Repeat Chorus

She window shops for wedding gowns,
She hang around me now,
She hang around me now.
She says she'll find him
When she leaves this town,
She hang around me now,
She hang around me for now.
