Emily  comes home from school
 Grabs on to her daddy's hand
 He says baby  girl what's wrong with you
 She says, please don't make me go back  there again
 She said I wish  there was some way to make 'em stop  it
   -once
 So he drives down to that principals office, and says
 I didn't bring  her up
 So they could cut  her down
 I didn't bring  her here
 So they could shut  her out
 I live my whole  damn life
 To see that little  girl smile
 So why are tears  pouring down that sweet face?
 She wasn't brought up that way
Emily's  home late again
 He sees that boy drive away
 Oh, but somethings  different this time
 She doesn't have too much  to say
 She said he tried,  but there just some things I won't do
 And through the tears  she said I couldn't do that to you
   -once
 And he said,
 I  didn't bring you up
 So he could wear  you down
 Take that innocent  heart
 And turn it inside  out
 I live my whole  damn life
 To see my little  girl smile
 So don't let  nobody take that away
 You weren't brought up that way
-once
The  phone rings on a rainy night
 Says it's Officer Tate
 He said, Sir  there's been an accident
 You better come down here  right away
 A drunken  driver missed an over-pass
   -once
 And Emily, she's fading fast, he says God
 I didn't bring  her up
 To watch them lay  her Down
 Nearly killed  me the day they put her mama  in the ground
 Only thing kept  me alive was that little  girl's smile
 So please  don't take that away
 It won't be easy  taking her today
 She wasn't brought up that way
He  stands over the hospital bed
 Emily opens her eyes
 There you have it! Have fun!! Rate:)
