Death In the Family
Everything was up to date
Around the year 1998
Two days after valentines day
You can think what you may
A balloon of love hung in the car
Everyone left with a scar
Five shots fired
The detectives were hired
Three children left orphaned
And only one man to blame
Penny was hit one time in the back
And three in the chest, what a shame
Dwayne shot himself once in the chest
He laid there and suffered with a hole in his vest
He laid there in a pile of blood and bled
But not till he put a towel over her head
Everyone gathered to morne a her viewing
Even Alma Snyder from Kentucky flew in
I cried so hard at her grave site
I wish she could have put up a fight
People gathered from near and far
They came in a truck, van, or car
I forgive him but some people dont
i understand why some people won't
She's safe in God's hands now
I don't know why or how
We miss her more then ever
We'll remember her face forever.
