SAVE THE CHILDREN (Linda Hargrove and Pete Drake) Mama and Daddy couldn't save their marriage to save their lives So Mama took us kids and put us in the car and drove away one night And I remember Daddy standing on the porch as his life rode out of sight Mama tried hard to hide her tears, but I could see 'em through the highway lights Now Mama and Daddy didn't want their children to grow up wrong And they knew it wasn't right for us to see how they couldn't get along And I heard Mama praying real soft when she thought we were all asleep She was sayin' "Jesus, Lord, I put them in Your keep" Save the children, Lord, don't let them go astray And Lord, please forgive me for this day Now Mama, she don't know th kind of life I live today Livin' in this neon hell where the lonely pay to play Somehow despite what Mama said this child has gone astray But Lord I know Your Memory's good and You'll remember what my Mama prayed Save the children, Lord, don't let them go astray And Lord, please forgive me for this day Save the children, Lord, don't let them go astray And Lord, please forgive me for this day © 1975 - Beechwood Music/ Window Music Pub.
