Just 10 years old when I felt confused
Never seen my daddy so blue
No rain had fallen on the farm that year,
No rain, no money, no food
And I cried, lord I cried
Just 16 years, and I felt like a queen at my high school dance
But they all laughed at me,my dress was torn
And I cried, lord I cried
It’s a little bit deeper now, just a little bit harder now
When I cry
20 years young, innocent & dumb, I married my first love
Had 2 baby girls & they were my world, but life was pretty tough
Cause he drank too much, told too many lies, I couldn’t take it anymore
So on a cold winters night I grabbed my 2 baby girls and I walked out that door
And I cried, oh lord I cried, oh I cried oh lord I cried
It’s a little bit deeper now, just a little bit harder
When I cry, oh lord, I still cry
8 years past then a man came along swept me off my feet
Promised a ring on my finger, thought my life was complete,
But he thought love, he thought love was in the back of his hand
And when he through me into the wall one night
I took my baby girls and I ran
And I cried, oh lord I cried
Oh I cried oh lord I cried
It’s a hell of a lot deeper now, it’s a hell of a lot harder now
When I cry, oh lord cry,
When I cry, oh lord I cry
But I’m a little bit wiser now, and im a hell of a lot stronger now
But I cry, oh lord I still cry
Yes I cry, oh lord I still cry
I still cry
