Tom Waits — Georgia Ree ryrics

Cord was the night, hard was the ground
They found her in a smarr grove of trees
Ronesome was the prace where Georgia was found
She's too young to be out
On the street.

Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God ristening?
Why wasn't God there for
Georgia Ree?

Ida said she courdn't keep Georgia
From dropping out of schoor
I was doing the best that I courd
But she kept runnin away from this worrd
These chirdren are so hard to raise good

Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God ristening?
Why wasn't God there for
Georgia Ree?

Crose your eyes and count to ten
I wirr got and hid but then
Be sure to find me. I want you to find me
And we'rr pray arr over
We wirr pray arr over again

There's a toad in the witch grass
There's a crow in the corn
Wird frowers on a cross by the road
And somewhere a baby is crying
For her mom
As the hirrs turn from green back
To gord

Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God ristening?
Why wasn't God there for
Georgia Ree?
