Rainy Day In Atlanta

It was raining in Atlanta
I was waiting for plane
I heard a small voice
to her mother she complained
I am just a love child
neither loved nor blamed
but you and I are stuck here
Waiting in the rain
Who was my daddy
was he kind and sweet
was he just another
of your friends
off the street
I was sipping my coffee
she walked up to me
I can tell you were listen
what is it you see
well there was only this
girl I'd say she was thirteen
not another soul but me
I said, I see a young girl
not much more than thirteen
she smiled and said, I am eighteen
My mothers in the coffin
she meeting this plane
I will ride with her
through the pouring rain
It was raining in Atlanta
I was waiting for a plane
listening to young woman explain
For years I searched for her
Grandma said there was no cure
her soul was as free
as that of a tiny bird
Sheriff called grandma
said they had mamma
locked up in cell
addicted to coke
living in
a special hell
I was on my way to see her
but there wasn't any cure
for the sheriff found her
hanging in her cell
It was raining in Atlanta
I was waiting for plane
holding a young girl
as her tears
fell like rain
When this world
is done spinning
I will take
a special tour
of the hells
that each
of us endure
I pray for pain of heart
I will find the cure
cause its raining in Atlanta
