There Goes My Baby

Baby learned to sidestep honesty
Now she's got a walking stick
She takes the turns so slippery
Burnin' to the end of the wick
She needs the light
She's been trying to shake
She don't know what's at stake

There goes my baby
There goes my baby
Away from me now

Baby was born looking for a fight
Just another fatherless child
She don't want to hear
About wrong and right
She just let her heart run wild
I'm in the dark down on my knees
Reliving history

There goes my baby
There goes my baby
Away from me now
Away from me now

So many things I want to tell her about
She says I talk too much
I can't bear to see her doing without
She don't need that crutch

Baby's made out of flesh and bone
But she got the hidden strength
Some things you got learn on your own
I can't make her think
The hardest thing is to feel her pain
All over again

There goes my baby
There goes my baby
Away from me now
Away from me now
Away from me now
