Emily comes home from schoolGrabs on to her daddy's handHe says baby girl what's wrong with youShe says, please don't make me go back there againShe said I wish there was some way to make 'em stop it-onceSo he drives down to that principal's office, and saysI didn't bring her upSo they could cut her downI didn't bring her hereSo they could shut her outI live my whole damn lifeTo see that little girl smileSo why are tears pouring down that sweet face?She wasn't brought up that wayEmily's home late againHe sees that boy drive awayOh, but something's different this timeShe doesn't have too much to sayShe said he tried, but there just some things I won't doAnd through the tears she said I couldn't do that to you-onceAnd he said,I didn't bring you upSo he could wear you downTake that innocent heartAnd turn it inside outI live my whole damn lifeTo see my little girl smileSo don't let nobody take that awayYou weren't brought up that wayThe phone rings on a rainy nightSays it's Officer TateHe said, Sir there's been an accidentYou better come down here right awayA drunken driver missed an over-passAnd Emily, she's fading fast, he says GodI didn't bring her upTo watch them lay her DownNearly killed me the day they put her mama in the groundOnly thing kept me alive was that little girl's smileSo please don't take that awayIt won't be easy taking her todayShe wasn't brought up that wayHe stands over the hospital bedEmily opens her eyes
