Bubba:   (speaking)   Good Lord, May God have mercy on my soul      (rapping)   I love her, but you never would know   That by the way I just let my girl go   With tears in her eyes from years of the lies   She backed on up and disappeared out the drive   Way, hey, what can I say, all we had meas nothing today   I did my thing, and she did hers,   But my crime’s are a wee bit worse   And now I’m sitting her all alone with my guilt   Just me and the dogs and home that we built   It was then it was hers, even though Bubba bought it   But Bubba wouldn’t leave just like her mother called it   From the P, hold it to the blue flame   God, forgive me for causing you pain   All it was, ain’t no more, cause my babys gone   And when it rains it pours.      Ryan Tedder:   (singing)      She tried to tell me I needed to be strong   I wasn’t listening, and now my baby’s gone      Bubba:   (rapping)      One for the pleasure, two for the sin   Three for the family we coulda been   Had I not been so concerned    With this life, no spoken words   Couldn’t begin to undue what’s done   Deep within I know that you must run   Far away, from the thought of my smile   And the broken dream of us walking that isle   I first saw betty in my Nanny Wright's yard   The breast where the best, and the fanny, my lord   I fly country girl, just working them gifts   She’s my queen, was a virgin I guess   But I ain’t never ask, and ain’t never tell   But Betty had the cash every time I went to jail   And how did I reward her loyalty   Let her walk in and see her cousin Joy on me      Ryan Tedder:   (singing)      She tried to tell me I needed to be strong   I wasn’t listening, and now my baby’s gone      Bubba:   (rapping)      It’s been six months, and still no word   I try to carry on like it still don’t hurt   Ho's come around, but I still wont’ flirt   Drinking worse, and the pills don’t work   Last I heard she was in Birmingham    Living with a good hard working man   And lookin’ back on it, that’s exactly what she wanted   Not a rebel with a passion for the moment   I live for the feeling, the kick in the snout   I take my love and I stick it in there   Moved it gently and made this song   All because my baby is gone         Ryan Tedder:   (singing)      She tried to tell me I needed to be strong   I wasn’t listening, and now my baby’s gone
