Emily comes home from school

 Grabs on to her daddy's hand

 He says baby girl what's wrong with you

 She says, please don't make me go back there again

 She said I wish there was some way to make 'em stop it

  -once

So he drives down to that principals office, and says

 I didn't bring her up

 So they could cut her down

 I didn't bring her here

 So they could shut her out

 I live my whole damn life

 To see that little girl smile

 So why are tears pouring down that sweet face?

 She wasn't brought up that way

Emily's home late again

 He sees that boy drive away

 Oh, but somethings different this time

 She doesn't have too much to say

 She said he tried, but there just some things I won't do

 And through the tears she said I couldn't do that to you

  -once

And he said,

 I didn't bring you up

 So he could wear you down

 Take that innocent heart

 And turn it inside out

 I live my whole damn life

 To see my little girl smile

 So don't let nobody take that away

 You weren't brought up that way

-once

The phone rings on a rainy night

 Says it's Officer Tate

 He said, Sir there's been an accident

 You better come down here right away

 A drunken driver missed an over-pass

  -once

And Emily, she's fading fast, he says God

 I didn't bring her up

 To watch them lay her Down

 Nearly killed me the day they put her mama in the ground

 Only thing kept me alive was that little girl's smile

 So please don't take that away

 It won't be easy taking her today

 She wasn't brought up that way

He stands over the hospital bed

 Emily opens her eyes

There you have it! Have fun!! Rate:)
