Carl Butler - My Joy lyrics

rate me

Oh Lord I know this thing I've done is wrong

And no excuse I give can make it right

But Lord I've been without her for so long

My heart just over ruled the rules tonight

I've brought her here where no one ever comes

They'll never look for her down by the tracks

Now here we set a baby and a bum

And Lord I just don't want to take her back

Joy is her name I know because I named her

And her momma's 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

I'm man enough to want to take her with me

But I'm Dad enough to turn around and take her back home

Yes tonight I packed my pride and stole my Joy
