Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cold was the night and hard was the ground They found her in a small grove of trees Lonesome was the place where Georgia was found She's too young to be out on the street [Chorus] Why wasn't God watching? Why wasn't God listening? Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee? [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Why wasn't God watching? Why wasn't God listening? Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee? [Bridge] Close your eyes and count to ten I will go and hide but then Be sure to find me, I want you to find me And we'll play all over, we'll play all over We will play all over again [Verse 3] There's a toad in the witch grass, there's a crow in the corn Wildflowers on a cross by the road And somewhere a baby is crying for her mom As the hills turn from green back to gold [Chorus] Why wasn't God watching? Why wasn't God listening? Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee? Why wasn't God watching? Why wasn't God listening? Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
