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
