Why wasn't God watching? Why wasn't God listening? Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
Ida said she couldn't keep Georgia From dropping out of school I was doing the best that I could But she kept runnin away from this world These children are so hard to raise good
Why wasn't God watching? Why wasn't God listening? Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
Close your eyes and count to ten I will got and hid but then Be sure to find me. I want you to find me And we'll play all over We will play all over again

Why wasn't God watching? Why wasn't God listening? Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
