Heard about you on Sunday at church I’ve never felt that kind of hurt I was teary-eyed with clenched fists Oh, how dearly you would be missed I sat there, I prayed, and I prayed That somehow you’d been saved Shouldn’t have crossed that riverbed Just what was going through your head? Raising hell with nothing to lose Left your family broken and confused Don’t you think it’s a crying shame? That another man died in vain. Won’t accept that this had to be Had enough small-town tragedies It’s so painful and sad to see Had enough small-town tragedies So, I reached out to save you Didn’t know that God would take you The current was faster than you could swim Hope you made it closer to him Everyone tried to bring you home Took a trip to Heaven on your own Don’t you think it’s a crying shame? That another man died in vain. Won’t accept that this had to be Had enough small-town tragedies It’s so painful and sad to see Had enough small-town tragedies [Bridge:] Together we’ll all cry some tears He can’t get back the wasted years Communities united as one For a father who lost his son Lord knows that we tried and we tried We couldn’t bring you back alive Shouldn’t have crossed that riverbed Just what was going through your head? Raising hell with nothing to lose Left your family broken and confused Don’t you think it’s a crying shame? That another man died in vain. Won’t accept that this had to be Had enough small-town tragedies It’s so painful and sad to see Had enough small-town tragedies
