G                   C
Got a song about a sister,
G                          C
Waitin' somewhere by the phone,
G                       C
For some man who never missed her,
G                       C
Ever since he come and gone

C                      G
And it's harder for a woman,
C                   G
With a baby on the way,
C                          G
That's the price of bein' human,
A7                          D
When you're poor enough to pay,

Chorus:
C                       G
So she listens to the freedom,
C                      G
In the silence at her door
C                          G
No one's missin' till you need 'em
C                D                 C
Ain't no fun to sing that song no more

Got a song about a Savior,
Lookin' lonesome and afraid,
At a city full of strangers,
And a cross He never made

And He's sadder than He's wiser,
And a longer way from home,
And He wonders why His Father,
Left Him bleeding and alone.

Chorus:
Just a broken song of freedom,
And the closing of a door,
No one's missin' till you need 'em
Ain't no fun to sing that song no more.
