Intro: Verse pictures on the wall, bottle in her hand children never call, she misses her old man Rain on the window, quiet as a tear And if you never felt'em, you'll never know there here Someone's cryin' in the hall Good Lord help us all While we try to stay afloat if you would Lord send a boat Verse Holes in the wall, bottle by his bed Holes in his past, empty as his head He's younger when he dreams, he's older than his years if if he never wakes up he'll know why he's here someones crying in the hall Good Lord help us all while we try to stay afloat if you would Lord send a boat Instrumental Verse Writings on the wall, bruise on his face daddy's come and go, his mama's on a date hes just cold and hungry, playing ain't no fun and if he ever grows up, he'll get him a gun someones cryin' in the hall Good Lord help us all why we try to stay afloat if you would Lord send a boat
