Adaline

Verse 1

Adaline lays on the church step

To get some sleep

As a jokers maiden rambles

And the pretty girls walk down the street

All dressed up on Broadway in their little cowboy boots

But they don't know the hell adalines been through

She's had her up's and downs, she's been beat around too many times

Chorus

Adaline cries God why did I end up this way

Destined for addiction

Her daddy stuck that needle in her vein

Now she sits on the church step

Where the baptists pray at night

Praying please God find me some light

I know it's been a long road

I've done my share of sinning

But it's hard to get ahead when

You were fucked from the beginning

Verse 2

The preacher wakes her on the church step

Girl we got mass at nine

He smiles to give her comfort

And sees the grace thats in her eyes

He says sometimes saints are made from sinners

And truth is made from lies

The burdens that you carry

Are the devil in disguise

Chorus

Adaline cries God why did I end up this way

Destined for addiction

Her daddy stuck that needle in her vein

Now she sits on the church step

Where the baptists pray at night

Praying please God find me some light

I know it's been a long road

I've done my share of sinning

But it's hard to get ahead when

You were fucked from the beginning

Verse 3

Adaline picks up her guitar

And plays some southern hymns

With that Tennessee twang

Just like her momma did

A broken b string and her savior

She sits in at an open mic

And she tells them the story

Of Adalines life

Bridge

How she'd wake at night

With her daddy at her bed

And the time she took to many oxys

They thought that she was dead

Adaline followed the heavily light

And Jesus took her by the hand

Kissed her on the forehead

And told her of God's plan

Go walk upon the sinners

Like you've done before

As an angel you will walk those streets

And spread the message of the lord

Chorus

Adaline cries God why did I end up this way

Destined for addiction

Her daddy stuck that needle in her vein

Now she sits on the church step

Where the baptists pray at night

Praying please God find me some light

I know it's been a long road

I've done my share of sinning

But it's hard to get ahead when

You were fucked from the beginning
