Crying Game

Woke up to snow It's Christmas again She's still not home Got thrown in the pin And I'm six years old Sitting here thinking Why am I always alone So, I watch my momma From the back of the van As she drove along And having seven kids My starving heart But daddy couldn't stay out of the bar It's a crying game Seeing him in prison On Christmas day Twenty years later Still such a shame To have a broken heart At such a young age But now it's all the same It's a crying game I missed the call And woke up to find My brother was gone That's when I lost my mind At eighteen years old Wondering how life could be so cold But we came together Like never before All my brothers and sisters Kept momma at shore Til we lost another It's hard to know just what to think no more It's a crying game To have to put my brothers In their graves Life ain't perfect But it's such a shame They left behind the stories that they never made Now it's all the same It's a crying game Living, loving gets me through the pain Don't take for granted it's all okay Anywhere I'm going it's crazy to think that There's a million other people out there playing Crying game There's no winning And no one to blame Life is fragile And can slip away And let me tell you When it does it's such a shame But it's all the same It's a crying game --- Crying Game - Cady Groves
