Montgomery, John Michael - The Little Girl Lyrics






Her parents never took the young girl to church
Never spoke of His Name
Never read her His Word
Two non-believers walkin' lost in this world
Took their baby with them, what a sad little girl

Her Daddy drank all day and Mommy did drugs
Never wanted to play, or give kisses and hugs
She'd watch the TV, and sit there on the couch
While her Mom fell asleep, and her Daddy went out
And the drinking and the fighting just got worse every night
Behind their couch she'd be hiding, oh what a sad little life

And like it always does, the bad just got worse
With every slap and every curse
Until her Daddy, in a drunk rage one night
Used a gun on her Mom, and then took his life
And some people from the city took the girl far away
To a new Mom and a new Dad
Kisses and hugs everyday

Her first day of Sunday school, the teacher walked in
And a small little girl stared at a picture of Him
She said, I know that man up there on that cross
I don't know His name, but I know He got off
Cause He was there in my old house
And held me close to His side
As I hid there behind our couch
The night that my parents died

    😇 I Lived this song in similar 😇
    I Thank God In Heaven for Music like this, so good for the soul.

  2. S.... P....

    my dad is prison for killing my mom when I was a baby because they were both drunk. I spent most of my life in foster care with my brothers because of it. I promised myself I would never make their mistakes, that I would be the person who goes out of their way to help others and to avoid drinking or doing drugs.

  3. c.... w....

    After my cousin went out on his terms I was in a dark place. I hated God. I HATED HIM. I tried to kill myself twice in my life. Once before he left and once after. Then I turned back to God and realized it was His love that absorbed the poison that should have killed me. I miss my cousin every day. I dont know who needed to read this story but know there is hope even in the darkest most messed up nights. Please stay strong

  4. T.... B....

    Great song title

  5. c.... l....

    " Give me your pain and I'll give you my comfort, give me your fear and I'll give you my peace, give me your sadness and I'll give you you my Joy, give me your lonlyness and I'll give you my love. I will suffer so you don't have to"

  8. D.... M....

    This just makes me miss my daughters more knowing they're living lies without me ... And the picture of Jesus is a false image ...

  9. A.... M....

    Sounds relatable

  10. A.... M....

    Sounds relatable

  11. K.... ....

    I cry every time I hear this song.....

  12. S.... T....

    So sad.
    This is my daughter life

  13. R.... M....

    Wonderful Music !

  14. J.... W....

    Angry or sad can’t decide where this video leads me but I know it is not a happy place .. strength and prayers to all who deal with this kind of life !!...... Come on guys time to grow up and be protecting not causing traumatic memories !!!

  15. j.... m....

    So very sad and unfortunate that these kinds of things every single day . Heart breaking

  16. A.... S....

    This song is so sad

  17. F.... w....

    Poor little girl

  18. L.... ....

    I miss this kind of country music

  19. M.... D....

    This song is what caused me to never listen to him again.

    this idea that non-believers, like myself, are bad, and christians are good, nah. I was done with JMM after that.

    M.... D....

    @Child of God Melton I don't do any of that nonsense. Just as you do not do any of that nonsense to talk to Odin, Thor, Allah, Ra, Zeus, Hades, Bhudah, Vishnu, or any of the other 3000 imaginary gods.

    Your heart is closed to all of these other lords just as my heart is closed to your lord. You think all of these other lords are fictional, that their followers are delusional. I think the same as you. I just include your imaginary friend along with all of the other imaginary friends. No exceptions.

    And if your lord cannot see into the hearts of good men and women, and only accepts those who believe in him, he really is not worthy of the good men and women who will be left behind. Believing in something should never be the qualifier for being worthy of something. I would rather be surrounded by my fellow non-believers than deal with that egotistical, narcissistic, abusive asshole that you call a lord, who can't give a damn about the people he created.

    But, really, all of this is moot. It is cute fantasy. Because there is no lord. Just imagination.

    M.... D....

    @Child of God Melton Also, what the fuck does your god ever need with money?

    I mean, really? Does he have a heavenly gambling addiction? Is there a Bank of Heaven? Is in in the Pearly Gates stock market? Is he a hedge fund manager?

    What the fuck does god need with money? What is he going to buy with it? Nothing.

    You know who will buy stuff with money? The people you give it to. They will buy more land, cars, jets, invest in the stock market. Some even buy drugs and male prostitutes. And they give a pittance of your money to charity so they can claim that all of it goes to charity. It really is a shame. So many people are conned out of their money by people who the fictional Jesus would have kicked over their tables and thrown them out of the temples.

    And here you are being an apologist for them, doing the work of satan.

    M.... D....

    @Michael Denison You just don't understand any of this at all maybe one day you will before it's too late. God bless you anyway. It also says in the Bible do not cast your pearls before swine so on that note I will leave you to your beliefs. Goodbye.

    M.... D....

    @Child of God Melton Yayyyyy, we got to the part where you call me a pig.

    Also, I understand all of this. Projecting your faults and failures upon me doesn't make it so.

    You see, I understand how you have been manipulated, since childhood, to believe in an imaginary friend. Initially it was 2 imaginary friends. But then you learned that Santa wasn't real, and you were all "yeah, it makes sense now that it was just my parents telling me bullshit".

    But god, oh god, that one you cannot let go. Why? Because you are a coward. Yep. You are afraid of an eternity without you. An infinity of not existing. Guess what . . . so am I. Death is scary as fuck. But telling myself a cool story and doubling down by paying money to some charlatan isn't going to make my hope for life after death into an actual life after death.

    So I accept what is real. We will all die. And our only hopes at a sense of immortality is either through being remembered or though our genes. Neither of which, in my case, seems to extend my mortal coil.

    Keep believing if it makes you feel better. But don't waste all of your time on your knees, don't give all of your money to the con men in the white temples. Live while you are on this earth. Don't waste the one life you have for the promised lies of another life that you will never get.

  20. N.... J....

    It's odd to me just how differently I pictured the music video in my mind's eye.

    N.... J....

    Lol me to

  21. R.... A....

    Damn that last part always gets me. I even try to not get tears in my eyes.

  22. K.... K....

    This one & Letters From Home were his best songs.

    K.... K....

    And Forever.

  23. M.... '....

    This song came out almost exactly 19 years ago. It still remains a classic.

  24. g.... w....

    I'm related to him

    g.... w....

    Me too!

  25. B.... S....

    This song gets me everytime and makes me be the best father i possibly can to my daughter

  26. C.... E....

    This is the saddest song! :(

  27. 2.... D....

    The girl story has never changed and Jesus saved the girls life when she could not save her self but Jesus could, that was real. Thanks be to our lord who loves us all

  28. L.... M....

    I remember listening to this song in the early 2000s, my parents would play this in the car as we rode through the country. I was only 10-11 at the time but I wanted to cry every time I heard this song. So sad and so real for so many kids all over the world 😞

    L.... M....

    😢😢😢😢😢 god bless ebery child in tha world

  29. J.... K....

    So sorry for the people who have to go through this

  30. G.... O....

    Beautiful song by a very
    outstanding singer!

  31. A.... P....

    That nigga Jesus didn't do dog shit on stopping that murder and suicide

    A.... P....

    A.... P....

    @dooquidis whamo yeah its called free will the adults are old enough to make their own decisions....the little girl is not ....trust me I'm no angel living a perfect life there is no such thing as perfect life and if God made everyone on this planet love and worship him with no free will what would be the point in that...I could go on and on about the subject but I'm sure you've heard it all before

    A.... P....

    Didn't mean to make that sound like I was talking to you John Miranda it was meant for Anonymous player 😉

    The Little Girl
    John Michael Montgomery

    Her parents never took the young girl to church
    Never spoke of His Name never read her His Word
    Two non believers walking lost in this world
    Took their baby with them what a sad little girl
    Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs
    Never wanted to play or give Kisses and Hugs
    She'd watched the TV and sit there on the couch
    While her mom fell asleep and her daddy went out
    And the drinking and the fighting
    Just got worse every night
    Behind their couch she'd be hiding
    Oh what a sad little life ╬

    And like it always does the bad just got worse
    With every slap and every curse
    Until her daddy in a drunk rage one night
    Used a gun on her mom and then took his life
    And some people from the city took the girl far away
    To a new Mom and a new Dad
    Kisses and Hugs EVERY DAY ! ╬

    Her first day at Sunday School
    The teacher walked in
    And a small little girl stared at a Picture of Him
    She said I know that Man
    Up there on that Cross I don't know His Name
    But I know He got off
    'Cause He was there in my old house
    Held me close to His side
    As I hid there behind our couch the night my parents died ╬


    ╬ Thank You Jesus ╬

    M.... H....

    @countrygirl countrymusiclover There's a thing called manners you seem to have left behind at kindergarten. :3

    M.... H....

    May God bless you. God loves you very much. God is watching over us all he sees everything's we do and say he knows everything.

  46. d.... ....

    Every firefighter, EMT or cop who has responded to the scene depicted in this song has some VERY dark thoughts about it.

    d.... ....

    doughesson It about life and the lord, u have seen worse in cartoons, u must not believe there story, u know its based on a true story and the girl to this day says it was Jesus who saved her, that's real

    d.... ....

    2pac Don what’s her name you know?

    d.... ....

    Doughesson I understand where you were coming from as a former volunteer firefighter I know for a fact this would affect us in ways that know one would ever understand but I understand very well for I was a witness to abuse from my father to my mother

  47. A.... T....

    I love this song. Every time I cry. My mom did drugs. And my dad was always drinking. :(

    A.... T....

    Be strong and choose the good way for your life and the future of your children
    Do not make them live like what you live now

    A.... T....

    I hope things are better for you now.

    A.... T....

    May God bless you and protect you and hopefully if they haven't got saved already hopefully they will. God loves you very much.

    A.... T....
