THE DEEPER IN
By the Gtime you were born there were Cfour other Gsiblings
With your GMama awaiting your Daddy in Djail
Your Goldest brother was aCway at a Ghome
And Gyou didn't meet him 'til you was Dnineteen years Gold
Old eGnough to know better, old eCnough to know Gbetter
But you Gtook to his jaw line and long sandy Dhair
How he Gmade you feel like Cnone off the Gothers
And the Gway he looked at you touched you Ddeep down in Gthere.
So you Gjumped on his bike and rode Cinto the Gsunset
But the Gsequel it started with the next morning Dsun
And the Gdew on the bike seat and Cyou all a Gglow
From the Glove he put in you and a Dlife on the Grun.
So you Gmoved to a small town, and Cthen to aGnother
And Gthen to another with another on its Dway
And you Gboth swore to God you would Ckeep it toGgether
And the GState wouldn't take your Dbabies aGway
Now, the CDistrict Attorney said he Gmight of forgiven
You Ghad lots of reasons to turn out this Dway
But you'll Gboth go to jail for them Cfour little Gbabies
You Gmade and delivered aDlong the Gway
Last Gnight you had a dream about a CLord so forgiving
He Gmight show compassion for a heathen he Ddamned
You aGwoke in a jail cell, aClone and so Glonely
GSeven years in MichiganD  G

THE DEEPER IN

G C G

By the time you were born there were four other siblings

G D

With your Mama awaiting your Daddy in jail

G C G

Your oldest brother was away at a home

G D G

And you didn't meet him 'til you was nineteen years old

G C G

Old enough to know better, old enough to know better

G D

But you took to his jaw line and long sandy hair

G C G

How he made you feel like none off the others

G D G

And the way he looked at you touched you deep down in there.

G C G

So you jumped on his bike and rode into the sunset

G D

But the sequel it started with the next morning sun

G C G

And the dew on the bike seat and you all a glow

G D G

From the love he put in you and a life on the run.

G C G

So you moved to a small town, and then to another

G D

And then to another with another on its way

G C G

And you both swore to God you would keep it together

G D G

And the State wouldn't take your babies away

C G

Now, the District Attorney said he might of forgiven

G D

You had lots of reasons to turn out this way

G C G

But you'll both go to jail for them four little babies

G D G

You made and delivered along the way

G C

Last night you had a dream about a Lord so forgiving

G D

He might show compassion for a heathen he damned

G C G

You awoke in a jail cell, alone and so lonely

G D G
