Darrell Scott - I Never Had A Sister lyrics

rate me

I never had a sister Me and four brothers made up the family It was high school that I missed her To tell me what the other girls never saw in me I got married when I was twenty More like sister really And less like a lover But it didn't last too long We sang our black swan song She moved to Florida and I ran for cover I sometimes had a mother Seems like she left me too when she left the old man She'd come back with my baby brother They tried to hold to something that they never really had So twice a month at her mobile home manor Forced to face each other by acourt decree I learned to love my mother When I finally figured out that she loved me I never had a savior Though I'd pray to beat the devil Through the lightning and the thunder A temporary change of behavior I'd lift my prayer's up to the ceiling But the cracks would make me wonder Now I wander through the woods by the river And make my altar out of earth, stone and wood There's one thing 'bout a savior If you ain't lost, a savior can't do you any good If you ain't lost, a savior can't do you any good
