I Never Had A Sister lyrics

I never had a sisterMe and four brothers made up the familyIt was high school that I missed herTo tell me what the other girls never saw in meI got married when I was twentyMore like sister reallyAnd less like a loverBut it didn't last too longWe sang our black swan songShe moved to Florida and I ran for coverI sometimes had a motherSeems like she left me too when she left the old manShe'd come back with my baby brotherThey tried to hold to something that they never really hadSo twice a month at her mobile home manorForced to face each other by acourt decreeI learned to love my motherWhen I finally figured out that she loved meI never had a saviorThough I'd pray to beat the devilThrough the lightning and the thunderA temporary change of behaviorI'd lift my prayer's up to the ceilingBut the cracks would make me wonderNow I wander through the woods by the riverAnd make my altar out of earth, stone and woodThere's one thing 'bout a saviorIf you ain't lost, a savior can't do you a
ny goodIf you ain't lost, a savior can't do you any good
