She said I've been up all night and half-scared to death  I can smell the liquor on your breath  I payed for your rehab with my ira  Boy your daddy'd be turning in his grave  She said son I've done all mama can do  I can save myself but I can't save you    He said I wished you and Jesus would get off my back  They said his truck was doing 90 when he crashed  I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes  Even god cries when an angels hands are tied    They said honey grown-ups do this all the time  And tears welled up in their little girls eyes  They said now it's not something that you've done  It just that mommy and daddy don't get along    She said do you guys mean that you need a time out  And that daddy's gonna move to a different house  They said you'll have two bedrooms you're a lucky kid  She said what about checkers, where's he gonna live  I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes  Even god cries when an angels hands are tied    She prays, angels watch me through the night  Stay by my side 'til morning light  God bless mama, god bless daddy  Keep us together and happy  I bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes  Even god cries when an angels hands are tied
