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
