You ask me how long I've been drinkin' 
And livin' this honky tonk life
Well listen girls I'll tell you my story 
I'm a mother that was once a happy wife
I'm a girl just like so many others 
Neither good nor bad, maybe a girl like you
And just think but for the grace of God in heaven
It could have in your heart stop of broke in two
I'm a girl that's left without a future 
And the baby boy that has his daddy's name
And the baby looks just like his daddy 
But another woman wears my wedding ring

I'm a girl that's left without a future
