Call up the neighbor from across the street
Cause the baby keeps crying and there’s nothing to eat
Mama ain’t showered, won’t get out of bed
Sick in the heart, sick in the head
Daddy got a U-Haul, bank foreclosed
The big bad wolf come knocking at the door
Hear him howl, hit the road
Baby girl, you don’t get to be a baby no more
Baby girl, you don’t get to be a baby no more
Gotta sing for your supper, gotta sing for the Lord
Sleeping on a mattress on a stranger’s floor
3 kids on a Greyhound, rolling outta town
Count telephone poles ‘til my feet touch ground
Daddy got a U-Haul, bank foreclosed
The big bad wolf come knocking at the door
Hear him howl, hit the road
Baby girl, you don’t get to be a baby no more
Baby girl, you don’t get to be a baby no more
Daddy lost his job, then he lost his mind
Can’t feed no family on the government dime
I was working 2 jobs, I was trying to make rent
Every dollar I made was already spent
Daddy got a U-Haul, bank foreclosed
The big bad wolf’s come knocking at the door
Hear him howl, hit the road
Baby girl, you don’t get to be a baby no more
Baby girl, you don’t get to be a baby no more

Loneliness Of Love
She sits by the phone In the housecoat that she’s always worn At the kitchen table in the dark Plays the old machine to hear him talk He says leave a message at the tone …
