God's gift to man Songtext

God's gift to man

Well he met her in the navy
He was the hit of the class
She was a cute lil thing
He liked the way she shook her glass
And they ran out of texas
And he bought some land yeah
And they settled in a mobile-home
Out by the Taco-stand

He was doin' things he didn't understand
There was no way to explain she was
God's gift to man

Well he got a promotion
And he got themselves a colored TV
Had the cable put in and they watched
A round of Jeopardy
And they sat out in the evening
And they watched the sun go down
And everything wa good
They were livin' on the outside of town

They were travelling by and they didn't
Understand she was
God's gift to man

Yeah baby, tell me don't it feel good
That you know that
We're livin just like a young boy should yeah yeah yeah

She went out to Houston
Where she was living in sin
Well he begged her on his belly
But nobody moved in
She wound up in El Paso
On the streets again
It was hard to take it
But sometimes you just can't win

He was after lil lady
That he didn't understand
And he couldn't understand that she was
God's gift to man

Well I've seen her on TV
Just a couple of nights ago
She was doin' a commercial
Smilin' for some Aloe soap
But I knew inside her heart
Was black as coal
There's no way to replace
The amount of lovin' that lil girl stole

Yeah then she got it coming but she won't
Understand that she was
God's gift to man

Well I've been doin' things that I don't
Understand but she was
God's gift to man
