Oh Lord I know this thing Ive done is wrong
And no excuse I give can make it right
But Lord Ive been without her for so long
My heart just over ruled the rules tonight
Ive brought her here where no one ever comes
Theyll never look for her down by the tracks
Now here we set a baby and a bum
And Lord I just dont want to take her back
Joy is her name I know because I named her
And her mommas not my wife anymore because I shamed her
And I have been forbidden to even bring her toys
So tonight I packed my pride and stole my Joy
Here comes the train here comes the big decision
Do we turn around or ride for San Antone
Im man enough to want to take her with me
But Im Dad enough to turn around and take her back home
Yes tonight I packed my pride and stole my Joy
