Jamie

There's a frightened little girl inside this woman's body
Jamie won’t you go to bed early
For this child didn't get to be a child for long
Tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day

Well the day was hard and a drink would ease the burden
Jamie won't you go to bed early
Your daddy’s comin’ home and he’s gonna be tired
Tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day

After two two more drinks the silence spells a warning
Jamie won't you go to bed early
Better leave while you can ‘cause there’s gonna be a fight
Tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day

I’d heard his threats to my mother in the kitchen
Jamie won’t you go to bed early
You wouldn’t get hit if you kept your mouth shut
Tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day

I learned if I'm not perfect then I shouldn’t be loved
Jamie won't you go to bed early
I tried my best but it was never enough
Tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day

It’s best to stay together children need a home
Jamie won't you go to bed early
And I can't bear the thought of growing old alone
Tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day

I walked in fear through the hallways of the old house
Jamie won't you go to bed early
The house is long gone but I'm walking there still
Tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day

There's a frightened little girl inside this woman's body
Jamie won’t you go to bed early
For this child didn't get to be a child for long
Tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day
