Heaven Only Knows

You aint Daddy's little girl anymore
 Isn't that a crying shame
 With your dreams of California
 Searching for your wealth and fame
 I can still see the teardrops
 Streaming down your face
 I can still hear you say
 Theres no future in this place
 So you packed your belongings
 While I stood and watched you go
 Why I never tried to stop you
 Heaven only knows
 Through the years I got some postcards
 That is all that I recall
 Telling me that you were happy
 But I never got one call
 You thought you knew all the answers
 When you were 17
 Someone just sent me your picture
 From some dirty magazine
 And I've heard you made some movies
 That I would not care to see
 I just know how much I love you
 And that don't mean a thing to me
 I guess your brother felt the same way
 I could not keep him on the farm
 They found his body in Chicago
 With a needle in his arm
 I can still see the teardrops
 Streaming down his face
 And I can still hear him say
 Theres no future in this place
 While he packed his belongins
 Like you once did long ago
 Why I never tried to stop him
 Heaven only knows
 Now I'm standing in this graveyard
 Where we laid your momma down
 I recall that preachers words now
 When they put her in the ground
 It's your job to raise these children
 And I tried to do my best
 It's been 10 years since we lost her
 From that cancer in her chest
 I can feel the teardrops
 Streaming down my face
 Lately you know I've been thinking
 There's no future in this place
 And I would pack my belongings
 But I've got no place to go
 Why the Good Lord doesnt take me
 Heaven only knows
 But you aint Daddy's little girl anymore
 Isn't that a crying shame
