I didn't plan on sinking down this far
or making my new home in this old car.
This property under my feet
ain't my address just some side street

Not sure how long this can last.
I'm losing ground Oh I need help fast.
Lord hear my cry
cause this Chevy ain't no place for a mom to sing a lullabye

Sleepin with one eye open
watching over tired hungry faces.
They don't realize this ain't how children live in other places

Faith makes them believe
I know what I'm doing to make it right.
So Lord hear my cry
cause this Chevy ain't no place for a mom to sing a lullabye

Come dawn I'll drop them off at church
stand in line and hope for work.
And though things are so bad it hurts
in my heart I know it could still be worse.
Yeah it still could

Detroit line built this car
for a nice long Sunday drive.
So lord hear my cry
cause this Chevy ain't no place for a mom to sing
and it sure ain't no place for a child to live.
No this Chevy ain't no place for a mom to sing a lullabye
