lyrics

Lord I knew, when I said I loved him,
All about his rambling games.
And heaven knows, it ain’t been easy,
Lord, I loved him just the same.

Now every part of that man is beautiful
Beautiful mouth, beautiful lungs, beautiful veins,
And I don’t mind, what he’s putting in them,
Cause it seems to ease his beautiful brain.

But I cry at night for our baby girls,
As they pray themselves to sleep.
Chanting as we lay our heads on our pillows,
God, we pray our daddy’s soul to keep.

Lord I knew, when I said I loved him,
All about his rambling games.
And heaven knows, it ain’t been easy,
Lord, I loved him just the same.

The other day, he grabbed his worn out suitcase,
The one that’s always been ready to go.
And then he ran with his east coast buddies,
Singing “so long San Francisco!”

Yeah he goes out, and he goes everywhere,
Yeah he goes crazy, all the time.
Then he’ll go, for a year or two,
When he’s gone, I know that he is still mine.

Lord I knew, when I said I loved him,
All about his rambling games.
And heaven knows, it ain’t been easy,
Lord, I loved him just the same.

So Lord I kneel here now, makin’ preparations,
While I still have some breath.
Since his life, never followed my plans,
I’m gonna make us some new plans for after death.

See if I come, and stay at your place,
For the rest of eternity.
And your gates don’t open when he comes back to me,
Then Heaven might not be the place for me.

Cause Lord I knew, when I said I loved him,
All about his rambling games.
And heaven knows, it ain’t been easy,
Lord, I loved him just the same.
