Lyrics:

Written by Rodney Atkins, Nicole Witt, Bobby TomberlinShe said I&ampapos;ve been up all night and half-scared to deathI can smell the liquor on your breathI payed for your rehab with my iraBoy your daddy&ampapos;d be turning in his graveShe said son I&ampapos;ve done all mama can doI can save myself but I can&ampapos;t save youHe said I wished you and jesus would get off my backThey said his truck was doing 90 when he crashedI bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimesEven god cries when an angels hands are tiedThey said honey grown-ups do this all the timeAnd tears welled up in their little girls eyesThey said now it&ampapos;s something that you&ampapos;ve doneIt just that mommy and daddy don&ampapos;t get alongShe said do you guys mean that you need a time outAnd that daddy&ampapos;s gonna move to a different houseThey said you&ampapos;ll have two bedrooms you&ampapos;re a lucky kidShe said what about checkers, where&ampapos;s he gonna liveI bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimesEven god cries when an angels hands are tiedShe prays, angels watch me through the nightStay by my side til morning lightGod bless mama, god bless daddyKeep us together and happyI bet it gets so quiet in heaven sometimes
