Phoebe Bridgers Georgia Lee
[Verse 1]
Cold was the night and hard was the ground
They found her in a small grove of trees
Lonesome was the place where Georgia was found
She's too young to be out on the street
[Chorus]
Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
[Verse 2]
Ida said she couldn't keep Georgia from dropping out of school
I was doing the best that I could
But she just kept runnin' away from this world
These children are so hard to raise good
[Chorus]
Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
[Bridge]
Close your eyes and count to ten
I will go and hide but then be sure to find me
I want you to find me, and we'll play all over
We'll play all over
We'll play all over again
[Verse 3]
There's a toad in the witch grass, there's a crow in the corn
Wild flowers on a cross by the road
And somewhere a baby is crying for her mom
As the hills turn from green back to gold
[Chorus]
Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for Georgia Lee?
