The family moved around quite a few times.
Eviction notices, along with multi crimes.
Years have passed and after having six children, she was all run down.
She had no faith in herself anymore, she was just getting around.
He used to love her to death,
They would make love, til there last breath.
Things have changed, he was getting older and wasn't the same man anymore.
Being in his 50's and her in her 30's, love was not like before.
He started taking more walks and longer talks.
With his oldest daughter of 8 by his side.
This went on til she was 9 years old, oh what an unhealthy ride.
He always told her that this was their secret and mommy could never know.
But she questioned him a little more each time, but she loved her daddy so.
She never realized that what he was doing was so wrong.
But she felt a little strange and not very strong.
He would hold her down and she would have to bare with the pain.
The smell of alcohol on his breath, and his sweat felt like rain.
She cried, but he didn't care,
He just wanted sex, and to complain she wouldn't dare.
The old run down shack, left a scent of fire.
The mattress on the cold floor, was hurting her back, you can feel the coils, which felt like wires.
After everything was done, he brought his daughter to the store.
A quarter worth of candies, and no.more.
She had to come back with something,
This was the evidence, she would bring,
In the house he trotted, and then he would sing.
