Devil's Land

There on the floor of a beat-up dirty trailer, a little blue-eyed girl sat cryin' for her ma. Her daddy left and he never came back to get her, like he said he would when he drove off in the fog. Now Mama's on the floor and she's not moving anymore, and that little girl is begging Mama please...
Put your arms around me now, hold me tight and tell me how much you love me Mama, Mama please don't leave.

'Cause it's a hard time when the needle guides the hand.
And it's a hard life with the devil rules the land.
Lyin' on the ground, a tortured life and shattered dreams,
And birds don't learn to fly with broken wings.

There in the back of a '87 Chevy, a blue-eyed girl was cryin' from the hurt. The years weren't kind and no one ever told her, just how much her life was really worth. Now she gets passed around on the seedy side of town, but what she really needs she won't find on the streets. She's asked every man she's found, put your arms around me now... and tell me that you love me, love me please.

'Cause it's a hard time when the needle guides the hand.
And it's a hard life with the devil rules the land.
Lyin' on the ground, a tortured life and shattered dreams,
And birds don't learn to fly with broken wings.

There on the floor of a cold and dark motel room, a blue-eyed girl lay lifeless by the door. On the tile curled up right there beside her, scared and shaking was her precious little girl. Her mama left her all alone, with no place to call her home, and that little girl was cryin' Mama please.
Put your arms around me now, hold me tight and tell me how much you love me Mama, Mama please don't leave.

'Cause it's a hard time when the needle guides the hand.
And it's a hard life with the devil rules the land.
Lyin' on the ground, a tortured life and shattered dreams,
And birds don't learn to fly with broken wings.
