Let Her Cry

Charlie Daniels Band

She sits alone by a lamppost

Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind

She says Dad's the one I love the most

But Stipe's not far behind

She never let's me in

Only tells me where she's been

When she's had too much to drink

I say that I don't care

I just run my hands through her dark hair

Then I pray to God you gotta help me fly away

And just...

chorus:

Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be, let her be

This morning I woke up alone

Found a note standing by the phone

Saying, "Baby, maybe I'll be back someday"

I wanted to look for you

You walked in I didn't know just what I should do

So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself

Saying...

(chorus) x 2

Last night I tried to leave

Cried so much I could not believe

She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago

She went in the back to get high

And I sat down on my couch and cried

Yelling "Oh mama, please help me

Won't you hold my hand"

And...

(chorus) x 2
