Crying Game

Woke up to snow, it's Christmas again
 But you're still not home
 Got thrown in the pin
 And I'm 6 years old
 Sitting here thinking why am I always alone
 So I watched my mama from the back of the van
 As she drove along
 And havin seven kids must have been hard
 But daddy couldn't stay out the bar
 It's a crying game
 Seeing him in prison on Christmas Day
 20 years later, still such a shame
 To have a broken heart at such a young age
 But now it's all the same
 It's a crying game
 I missed the call and woke up to find
 My brother was gone
 That's when I lost my mind
 At 18 years old
 Wondering how life could be so cold
 But we came together like never before
 All my brothers and sisters kept mama at shore
 Till we lost another
 It's hard to know just what to think no more
 It's a crying game
 To have to put my brothers in their graves
 And life ain't perfect but it's such a shame
 They left behind the stories that they never made
 But now it's all the same
 It's a crying game
 Living and lovin gets me through the pain
 Don't take for granted a soul or a day
 Getting where I'm going it's crazy to think
 That there's a million other people out there playing a
 Crying game
 There's no winning and no one to blame
 Life is fragile and can slip away
 And let me tell you when it does it's such a shame
 But it's all the same
 It's a crying game
