Little girl disappeared and gone
From the rural route
Seven days missing, something's wrong
On the rural routeAmber alert all over the nation
From the rural route
Two lane highway full of cops
On the rural route, rural routePolice dogs howl from wire cages
On the rural route
Last seen leaving a trailer
On the rural routeJust walking home alone
On the rural route
Newspaper prints her fifth grade picture
From the rural route, rural routeAir stinks of crystal meth
On the rural route
Some one predicts a young girl's death
On the rural routeFather refuses to answer any questions
From the rural route
The man he runs around with, comes up missing
Off the rural route, rural routeTwenty miles away by a lake
On the rural route
Girl's body's found, it's been raped
By the rural routeTwenty-eight year old friend of the father
Arrested on the rural route
Father traded his daughter for favors
On the rural route, rural routeHere's my prayer loud and clear
From the rural route
Forgive us Lord and get us out of here
Off this rural routeOh merciful Father, show us the will
Here on the rural route
Give us the mercy for the drug-addicted
And the mentally ill on the rural route
