Little girl disappeared and gone   From the rural route   Seven days missing something's wrong   On the rural route   Amber alert all over the nation   From the rural route   Two lane highway full of cops   On the rural route   Rural route      Police dogs howl from wire cages   On the rural route   Last seen leavin' a trailer   On the rural route   Just walkin' home alone   On the rural route   Newspaper prints her fifth grade picture   From the rural route   Rural route      Air stinks of crystal meth   On the rural route   Some one predicts a young girl's death   On the rural route   Father refuses to answer any questions   From the rural route   The man he runs around with comes up missing   Off the rural route   Rural route      Twenty miles away by a lake   On the rural route   Girl's body's found, it's been raped   By the rural route   Twenty-eight year old friend of the father   Arrested on the rural route   Father traded his daughter for favors   On the rural route   Rural route   Rural route      Here's my prayer loud and clear   From the rural route   Forgive us Lord, get us out of here   Off this rural route   Oh merciful Father, show us the will   Here on the rural route   Give us the mercy for the drug-addicted   And the mentally ill   On the rural route
