G Gsus G
She lives in the Bastard Nation
F C G
She doesn't even know her name
G Gsus G
No one there knows where they come from
F C G
Could've been Abel could've been Cain
G Gsus G
She was raised by loving hands
F C G
Down by the Gulf Of Mexico
G Gsus G
Her savior was a preacher man
F C G
They loved her like she was their own
G Gsus G
But one thing they could not give to her
F C G
Though they tried with all their might
G Gsus G
They could not fill the emptiness
F C G
She felt when she lay down each night
G Gsus G
She comes from the Bastard Nation
F C G
She don't even know her name
G Gsus G
No one there knows where they come from
F C G
Could've been Abel could've been Cain
G Gsus G
All alone in the Bastard Nation
F C G
Just like all the others there
G
Each one reaching out for someone
F C G
Doesn't anybody care
SOLO
G Gsus G
Tonight I'll put my child to bed
F C G
She'll look in her father's eyes
G Gsus G
Somewhere in there she'll see herself
F C G
And feel all those invisible ties
G Gsus G
But that girl from the Bastard Nation
F C G
She just seems to drift away
G Gsus G
She never knew just where to land
F C G
It's the only thing that ever made her pray
G Gsus G
She comes from the Bastard Nation
F C G
She doesn't even know her name
G Gsus G
No one there knows where they come from
F C G
Could've been Abel could've been Cain
G Gsus G
All alone in the Bastard Nation
F C G
Just like all the others there
G
Each one reaching out for someone
F C G
Doesn't anybody care
