Lyrics Barbara Mandrell – Child Support
Text:
Dear Joe, I hope you get this
You’ve been very hard to find
I’m sure you know your payments
Are running months behind
Not to worry anymore
I sure could use the money
But I’ve got my child support
He wakes me up each morning
With a happy face
And brings a little heaven
To this lonely place
His hands are tiny
And his legs are short
But I lean upon him
For my child support
Joe, I started working
At a new department store
My sister watches Billy
Everyday from 8 ’til 4
And I keep on cuttin’ corners
So he has everything he needs
I hope I help him half as much
As he’s been helpin’ me
You ought to see him smiling
When I come home from work
You could never pay me
What that look is worth
He doesn’t have a lawyer
He’s never been to court
With his child support
He goes to bed each evening
With his teddy bear
Pulls up the covers
And says a little prayer
And I’ve been prayin’ too Joe
Yes, I thank the Lord
For that little angel
And his child support
