Her hair was tangled, her clothes were torn A cloud lift to protect Mamas last hope Brothers and sisters are home Praying she brings them back some bread Like a lawman hunting down a thief She was looking for a Daddy Her desperate eyes searched each mans face But Lord, they came up empty You could tell from the red clay on her shoes She was from down in the holler A mountain child born to lose Down in that holler A barman signaled, slowly she crossed the room Bent down and whispered low Without one word, she turned to ?? stares Just like I did so many years ago
holler, signaled, barman, lawman, hunting
