The Baby Lyrics by India Ramey

Snake Handler

0

My sisters have almost a decade on me
You could say I was a surprise
Everybody called me the baby
I have my mother's smile and my father's eyes
But those eyes saw things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy
And if I had a dime for all the tears they cried
I would buy back all the years that escaped me
I was the baby who never got to be a child
You have to grow up at a warp speed
When your daddy is a monster
Mama works at shift number three
With trembling hands and the face of a boxer
And her eyes just scream, "oh, somebody help me"
And if I had a dime for all the tears they cried
I could buy back all the years that escaped me
I was the baby we never got to be a child
Buses and latch keys and hiding under my bed
I bore the cross of survival
And the scars of a veteran at age five
Cause my eyes saw things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy
And if I had a dime for all the tears they cried
I could buy back all the years that escaped me
I was the baby who never got to be a child
I was the baby who never got to be a child
