Kacey Musgraves
There’s a Person There
[Verse 1: Kacey Musgraves]
She walks around the block with a silver plated cutter
On her shoulder
To chase the dogs off when they come
She'd rather fight than run
So just be aware
[Verse 2: Kacey Musgraves]
Everybody thinks she's crazy
I think maybe she just needs a patient ear
To listen to her stories
Let her know somebody cares
And there's a person there
[Pre-Chorus: Kacey Musgraves]
I gave her a pair of shoes for Christmas
She looked up and smiled and said, "Somebody must've listened"
[Chorus: Kacey Musgraves with Travis Meadows]
I got shoes on
My feet are off the ground
Thank you Jesus
This old world won't get me down
As long as I got prayers to pray and bills to pay
I'm still breathin' air
And there's a person there
[Verse 3: Kacey Musgraves]
Last one she told me
She was all down on her luck
When the landlord wanted her to kill her ex
For a little money and a truck
Mmm, but I ain't scared
[Verse 4: Kacey Musgraves with Travis Meadows]
Layin' in my bed
I hear the water run, the ceiling creak
I don't think she ever sleeps
But I love to hear those feet upstairs
'Cause there's a person there
[Pre-Chorus: Kacey Musgraves]
Who knows? Maybe I'm a little crazy too
But crazy people always seem
To pull each other through
[Chorus: Kacey Musgraves with Travis Meadows]
I got shoes on
My feet are off the ground
Thank you Jesus
This old world won't get me down
As long as I got prayers to pray and bills to pay
I'm still breathin' air
And I know there's a person there
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus: Kacey Musgraves & Travis Meadows]
I got shoes on
My feet are off the ground
Thank you Jesus
This old world won't get me down
As long as I've got prayers to pray and bills to pay
And I'm still breathin' air
And there's a person there
[Outro: Kacey Musgraves]
Her name's Sophia
But she makes me call her mama
And I don't mind
My family's far away
It's nice sometimes
When life ain't fair
To know there's a person there
