The Deeper In |
| By the time you were born there were four other siblings |
| with your Mama awaiting your Daddy in jail |
| Your oldest brother was away at a home |
| and You didn’t meet him til you was nineteen years old |
| Old enough to know better, old enough to know better |
| but you took to his jaw line and long sandy hair |
| How he made you feel like none off the others |
| and the way he looked at you touched you deep down in there. |
| So you jumped on his bike and rode into the sunset |
| but the sequel it started with the next morning sun |
| and the dew on the bike seat and you all a glow |
| from the love he put in you and a life on the run. |
| Now, the District Attorney said He might of forgiven |
| You had lots of reasons to turn out this way |
| But He’ll throw you in jail for them four little babies |
| you made and delivered along the way |
| Last night you had a dream about a Lord so forgiving |
| He might show compassion for a heathen he damned |
| You awoke in a jail cell, alone and so lonely |
| Seven years in Michigan |
