Missing Since 1983

Missing Since 1983 I’ve moved 19 times And I’m only 15 I’m not in the Army I’m not in the Navy Cause everytime I leave I leave something behind Raised by a four legged friend Trying to do her best Made sure I ate, drank and slept And as Merle said, “Mama Tried” Cause everytime I leave I leave something behind I can’t make up my mind Not knowing how it will unravel Lord hear my prayers Cause I don’t want wheels on gravel
