 Reflections of Judy

The Old Drunk's DaughterŠJudy Arline Puckett


Somehow it enticed him.
 the greatest temptation he knew,
she ran from him,but a old ww2 soldier's pain sought her.
From a bottle of wine that held him captive,
stronger than a love that was true,
Heartache is all he had brought her.
He fell into the gutter,
where love wasn't easy to find.
washed away by sewage water,
I'm that old drunk's daughter.
Who knows what he could have been,
If only he were stronger back than,
But he fell into the gutter.drunk and blind.
He was washed away by the sewage water,
All of the what ifs and might have beens,
All of the father's sins that once caught her.
Were lessons that life has taught her,
The school for a old drunk's daughter.
Maybe he wanted to stop,
But he never made it to the mountain top,
In the dark valley he may have fought a war,
In a dark alley he lost sight of the star,
He fell into the gutter,with that old wine
He was washed away by the sewage water,
Leaving behind the old drunk's daughter.
With the lesson's life has taught her,
He fell into the gutter,one last time.
He was washed away by the sewage water,
Leaving behind the old drunk's daughter.
