All Them Ghosts Lyrics

I know he beat on her with his belt

And all her life she cried inside

She never had the words to say how she felt

And how she kept it out of sight

For the men who never gave a damn

Her husband, her father

And their goddamn pride

He left her with three kids in a foreign land

One of them was a rape child

She never had the words to say how she felt

And all her life she cried inside

Coz of the man who broke her heart

The father of her children

A cheater and a liar

I know he beat on her with his belt

I know what that one did in that bed

And all my life I know I'll try

To make it right

And all their lives they cried inside

And some of them tears

Keep flowin' in my veins

And all my life I know I'll try

To dry them and maybe one day

Be the first of us to smile inside

I know he beat on her with his belt
