[00:00.00]Help Me Understand - Hank Williams JR.
[00:09.54]A little girl prayed at the close of the day
[00:17.17]Cause her daddy had gone far away
[00:25.67]On her little face was a look of despair
[00:32.74]I stood there and listened and i heard this prayer
[00:41.76]My mommie says daddy has brought us to shame
[00:48.74]And i'm never no more to mention his name
[00:57.71]Lord take me and lead me and hold to my hand
[01:05.14]Oh heavenly father help me understand
[01:14.40]You know friends i wonder
[01:15.83]How many homes are broken tonight
[01:19.10]Just how many tears are shed
[01:22.17]By some little word of anger
[01:24.38]That never should have been said
[01:27.45]I'd like to tell you a story
[01:28.88]Of a family i once knew
[01:32.19]We'll call them mary and william
[01:34.09]And their little daughter sue
[01:37.02]Now mary was just a plain mother
[01:39.20]And bill was just a usual dad
[01:43.02]And they had their little family quarrels
[01:45.14]Like everybody else
[01:46.59]But neither one really got mad
[01:50.27]Then one day something happened
[01:53.19]It was nothing of course
[01:54.56]But one word led to another
[01:57.58]And the last word led to a divorce
[02:01.91]Now here were two grown up people
[02:03.75]Who failed to use common sense
[02:07.22]They strengthened their own selfish pride
[02:09.77]At little sue's expense
[02:12.85]You know she didn't ask to be brought to
[02:14.64]This world
[02:15.42]To drift from pillar to post
[02:18.70]But a divorce never stops to consider
[02:21.91]The ones it hurts the most
[02:25.45]There's be a lot more honest loving
[02:27.32]In this wicked ole world today
[02:30.46]If just a few parted parents
[02:33.06]Could hear little sue say
[02:35.47]Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
[02:42.12]Oh heavenly father help me understand
