EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT
I WATCHED ROY ROGERS
ON TV
BACK WHEN EVERYTHING
WAS BLACK-AND-WHITE
AND EASY TO SEE
AND NOW EVERYTHING
HAS CHANGED
EXCEPT MY MEMORY
OF MY DADDY'S VOICE
WHEN I'D FALL AND
SKIN MY KNEE
TELL ME
WHERE DOES IT HURT
WHERE IS THE PAIN
YOU KNOW IF I COULD
I'D MAKE IT GO AWAY
IT'S NOT THE END
OF THE WORLD
NOT HEAVEN ON EARTH
CAN I MAKE IT BETTER
WHERE DOES IT HURT
IT'S THIRTY YEARS LATER
AND MY LITTLE GIRL
SHE'S NOT QUITE GROWN
IN TEARS
SHE CALLS ME UP
ONE NIGHT
AND SAYS
I'M GONNA HAVE
A CHILD OF MY OWN
AND THE BOY
THAT I LOVED
DADDY HE'S GONE AWAY
OF THE MILLION THINGS
THAT RAN
THROUGH MY MIND
ONLY ONE I COULD SAY
TELL ME
WHERE DOES IT HURT
WHERE IS THE PAIN
YOU KNOW IF I COULD
I'D MAKE IT GO AWAY
IT'S NOT THE END
OF THE WORLD
NOT HEAVEN ON EARTH
DID I MAKE IT BETTER
WHERE DOES IT HURT
AND MY HAIR'S
TURNIN' GRAY
AND I WALK REALLY SLOW
AND IT'S HARDER TO SEE
AND GET BY ON MY OWN
AND I WONDER
IF ANYTHING I'VE SAID
HAS EVER MEANT
ANYTHING
THEN MY DAUGHTER
SAYS THOSE
HEALIN' WORDS TO ME
TELL ME
WHERE DOES IT HURT
WHERE IS THE PAIN
YOU KNOW IF I COULD
I'D MAKE IT GO AWAY
IT'S NOT THE END
OF THE WORLD
NOT HEAVEN ON EARTH
CAN I MAKE IT BETTER
AW WHERE DOES IT HURT
IT'S NOT THE END
OF THE WORLD
CAN I MAKE IT BETTER
WHERE DOES IT HURT
