They wouldn't let her
They wouldn't let her
They wouldn't let her, wouldn't let her go home
They wouldn't let her go home
They wouldn't let her go home
They wouldn't let her go home and now there's no more home
She took on extra shifts, still couldn't pay the bail
No danger, no flight risk, but she would stay in jail
She was not convicted of anything
She was not convicted of anything
Won't you let her go home?
Won't you let her go home?
Won't you let her go home?
At home she's got two kids and grandma needs her care
Who pack the lunch and give meds if she's in jail, not there?
They already took the only daddy that they ever had
Shot him then put a gun near him that he never had
Wouldn't let him go home
Wouldn't let him go home
Wouldn't let him go home
Two months, the rent's past due and gramma took a fall
The kids' been missing school to see her at the hospital
When the teacher saw that they were not in school again today
She called cps and cps then took the kids away
Wouldn't let them go home
Wouldn't let them go home
Wouldn't let them go home
Inside the news hits hard, she's never been more alone
Can't afford a new phone card, besides nobody's home
Shame and isolation, economic deprivation
And there's no more home
And there's no more home
And there's no more home
Preliminary hearing's short, only witness is the cop
He doesn't even show up in court and all the charges get dropped
What the fuck's the point of all the fucking hell he put her through?
Took her whole world away and set her up to start 'round two
Wouldn't let her go home
Wouldn't let her go home
Wouldn't let her go home
And now there's no more home
They wouldn't let her
They wouldn't let her
They wouldn't let her, wouldn't let her go home
They wouldn't let her
They wouldn't let her
They wouldn't let her, wouldn't let her go home
Wouldn't let her go home
Wouldn't let her go home
Wouldn't let her go home and now there's no more home
