She lives in the Bastard NationShe doesn't even know her nameNo one there knows where they come fromCould've been Abel could've been CainShe was raised by loving handsDown by the Gulf Of MexicoHer savior was a preacher manThey loved her like she was their ownBut one thing they could not give to herThough they tried with all their mightThey could not fill the emptinessShe felt when she lay down each nightShe comes from the Bastard NationShe don't even know her nameNo one there knows where they come fromCould've been Abel could've been CainAll alone in the Bastard NationJust like all the others thereEach one reaching out for someoneDoesn't anybody careTonight I'll put my child to bedShe'll look in her father's eyesSomewhere in there she'll see herselfAnd feel all those invisible tiesBut that girl from the Bastard NationSongtexteShe just seems to drift awayShe never knew just where to landIt's the only thing that ever made her prayShe comes from the Bastard NationShe doesn't even know her nameNo one there knows where they come fromCould've been Abel could've been CainAll alone in the Bastard NationJust like all the others thereEach one reaching out for someoneDoesn't anybody care Aus Songtexte Mania
