[00:00.33]Emily comes home from school
[00:04.64]Grabs onto her daddy s hand
[00:12.63]He says, Baby girl, what s wrong with you?
[00:16.94]She says, Please don t make me go back there again.
[00:24.63]She said, I wish there was someway to make them stop it.
[00:30.52]So he drives down to that principles office
[00:35.68]And says, I didn t bring her up so they could cut her down
[00:43.09]I didn t bring her here so they could shut her out
[00:49.28]I d live my whole damn life to see that little girl smile
[00:55.80]So why are tears pouring down that sweet face?
[01:00.85]She wasn t brought up that way.
[01:09.03]Emily s home late again
[01:12.96]He sees that boy drive away
[01:21.22]Oh but something s different this time
[01:25.46]She doesn t have too much to say
[01:31.94]She said, He tried but there s just some things I won t do
[01:39.39]And through the tears she said, I couldn t do that to you
[01:44.21]And he said, I didn t bring you up so he could wear you down
[01:51.66]Take that innocent heart and turn it inside out
[01:57.76]I d live my whole damn life to see my little girl smile
[02:04.42]So don t let nobody take that away
[02:09.38]You weren t brought up that way.
[02:39.72]The phone rings on a rainy night
[02:43.39]Says, It s Officer Tate
[02:47.79]He said, Sir, there s been an accident
[02:55.66]You d better come down here right away
[03:00.67]A drunken driver missed an overpass
[03:09.41]And Emily she s fading fast.
[03:14.43]He says, God I didn t bring her up to watch them lay her down
[03:22.31]Nearly killed me the day they put her mama in the ground
[03:28.04]Only thing that kept me alive was that little girls smile
[03:34.91]So please don t take that away
[03:40.57]It won t be easy taking her today, she wasn t brought up that way.
[03:54.31]He stands over the hospital bed
[03:58.28]Emily opens her eyes
