Her soul went runnin' to find out if she'd been misplaced
How could I be lost stop the world let me get off
No peace could she find, the devil kept messin' with her mind
The girl was so tough, but one day she had enough
Pardon the miss, she's gotta right to have a nervous breakdown
Her baby's daddy left, she still got on fine
She fell in love again but lost one more time
Woe to the day her heart began to decay
She tried to fight but then her will ran away
To lose a dream is very hard to live with
Looked in the lost and found could not find it
Blessed be the child God gave her, who wipes her tears
Lovin' the mother who's loved him all his years
But she was drownin' and could not come
In from out there seemed like no way out
Storm and thunder all about no peace could she find
The devil kept messin' with her mind
The girl was so tough, but one day she had enough
Pardon the miss, she's gotta right to have a nervous breakdown
Balancing one minute then her rope got too thin
Searchin' for solid ground to turn her life around
No stranger to the struggle, she knows how to recover
Won't let the fall do her in she will stand up again
Lawd, lawd, lawd, yeah, lawd have mercy, yeah, nervous breakdown
