lyrics

Sweet ol' Sandy was addicted to drugs
the kind that'll really fuck you up
and I could tell by the white on her nose
she'd fallen again boys that's the way she goes
she'd fallen again boys that's the way she goes

And I ain't one for sayin grace
for her I'm prayin heaven's a sober place
for her I'm prayin heaven's a sober place

Her old man used to beat her ass
the love of his life was his bottle of Jack
and then one night he got into his car and drove
and he swerved that shit right off the road
he swerved that shit right off the road

And I ain't one for sayin grace
for him I'm prayin heaven's all outta space
for him I'm prayin heaven's all outta space

Dear old Danny was the love of Sandy's life
he had every intention to make her his wife
cancer set in and he got sick as sin
and it's stealin his life before theirs can begin
it's stealin his life before theirs can begin

And I ain't one for sayin grace
for him I'm prayin heaven's a healthy place
for him I'm prayin heaven's a healthy place

My man Mikey was Sandy's only son
she loved him like a mother more than anyone
he turned eighteen and they sent him away
he died fighting for freedom that he'll never see
he died fighting for freedom that he'll never see

And I ain't one for sayin grace
for him I'm prayin that heaven is safe
for him I'm prayin that heaven is safe

Sweet ol' Sandy's had a hell of a time
just righting her ship and stayin alive
nobody said that life is fair but
for sweet ol' Sandy it's too much to bear
for sweet ol' Sandy it's too much to bear

And I ain't one for sayin grace
for her I'm prayin that heaven can wait
for her I'm prayin that heaven can wait
