She lives in the Bastard Nation She doesnt even know her name No one there knows where they come from Couldve been Abel couldve been Cain She was raised by loving hands Down by the Gulf Of Mexico Her savior was a preacher man They loved her like she was their own But one thing they could not give to her Though they tried with all their might They could not fill the emptiness She felt when she lay down each night She comes from the Bastard Nation She dont even know her name No one there knows where they come from Couldve been Abel couldve been Cain All alone in the Bastard Nation Just like all the others there Each one reaching out for someone Doesnt anybody care Tonight Ill put my child to bed Shell look in her fathers eyes Somewhere in there shell see herself And feel all those invisible ties But that girl from the Bastard Nation She just seems to drift away She never knew just where to land Its the only thing that ever made her pray She comes from the Bastard Nation She doesnt even know her name No one there knows where they come from Couldve been Abel couldve been Cain All alone in the Bastard Nation Just like all the others there Each one reaching out for someone Doesnt anybody careYou might also like
