It was another dayPerfect Texas afternoonMother and two children playThe way they always doAs they raced home from the mailboxA mother and her sonAgainst a little girl of six years oldThe independent one
The deputies went door to door through all the neighborhoodThey said I got some news to tell you folksI'm afraid it ain't so goodSomehow something happenedSomeone got awaySomeone got the answers for what happened here todayOh no, oh no, oh no no no no
Tell me it was just a dream, August 7, 4:15God closed His eyes and the world got mean, August 7, 4:15
Now the people from the papersAnd the local TV news tried to find the reasonCop dogs sniffed around for cluesSomeone shouted "Hit and run"The coroner cried "Foul"Her blue dress was what she woreThe day they laid her body downOh no, oh no, oh no no no no
Tell me it was just a dream, August 7, 4:15God closed His eyes and the world got mean, August 7, 4:15No
I know tonight that there's an angel up on Heaven's highest hillAnd no one there can hurt you baby, no one ever willSomewhere someone's conscience is like a burning bedThe flames are all around youHow you gonna sleep againOh no, oh no, oh no no no no
Tell me it was just a dream, August 7, 4:15God closed His eyes and the world got mean, August 7, 4:15
Tell me it was just a dream, August 7, 4:15God closed His eyes and the world got mean, August 7, 4:15
