I knew a girl named Hattie.
She lived her whole life long.
and ain't done nothing wrong.
But she closed her eyes to all new
cause the days of old were all,
She was just chasing the sun,
she wouldn't give change a try
Blind to the joy, that shines each day
that's how she lost her way,
Now Hattie moaned her father
ain't lived since the day he died
when it swelled with pride
She was Daddy's little girl,
Holdin' tight to the memories,
Hattie still sits and cries
And she's just chasin' the sun,
wouldn't give change a try
Blind to the joy that shines each day
that's how she lost her way
You know she lost her way
He thought she was heaven
Said, girl, let's leave this town
And Jimmy finally said, girl,
you know that I'm out of time
Yeah, yeah, we're out of time
And now I walk by her place
an d Hattie's mind is gone
she's stuck in yesterday's haunt.
Oh, looking for days gone by.
Wouldn't give change a try.
Blind to the joy that shines each day.
that's how she lost her way
Oh, you know that she lost her way
Cause she was chasing the sun
