Biography:
Love and Theft is a bit different from the group that scored a Top 10 hit two years ago with “Runaway.” But the changes that have affected the group—most notably, signing with RCA Records and downsizing to a duo—have actually brought Love and Theft closer to what it originally set out to be: a band that writes, records and performs honest, soulful country music.
While Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson are proud of their successful first effort

[Intro] | G | Am | (2x)
G Am
She used to come over to my house, she only lived a few miles away
G Am
Never knew why but my mama said fi she wanted she could stay
D Am
A pretty little girl who fought like a boy but she wanted to hold my hand
D Am
In a little blue dress that she always wore, yeah, I might have been her only friend
[Instrumental] | G | Am |
G Am
I remember that summer like yesterday, she used to hang around all the time
G Am
Down by the creek we would always play and tell secrets by the porch light
D Am
Shy as a bird and timid as a flower I wondered where she grew up
D Am G
I never really thought that much about it but everybody said her daddy was the town drunk
[Chorus:]
Am G D Am
Broken like a bottle, running from the only home she ever had
Am G D
Tangled in the talk behind her back
Am G D Am
Yeah, he thought she was nothin, growing like a weed on the wrong side of the tracks
Am G
How could anyone not love a girl like that?
[Instrumental] | G | Am |
G Am
One afternoon in the middle of town, I saw her daddy sleeping on a bench
G Am
So I walked up to him and introduced myself, said his daughter was my best friend
D Am
He looked at me like he didn't care and he asked me for a couple bucks
D Am G
Right then I decided I'd look after that pretty little girl whose daddy was the town drunk
[Repeat Chorus]

G Am
Several years later, I read in the paper that her daddy had passed away
G Am
I was holdin' her hand, she had the baby in the other there was really nothing I could say
D
She looked at me and I gave her a kiss
Am
All that really mattered was the three of us
D Am G
Nobody thought it'd all work out for that pretty little girl who was the town drunk
