He said, "In your room, sweetheart the sun will always shine"
Daddy gave me everything he could afford to buy
Beneath the painted sky, that's where I want to be
He told me not to be afraid when it stormed outside
Oh, I wish that I could live again beneath the painted sky
An' on the ceilin' in my room he painted me a sky
Sometimes the hurt's so bad, the way it is tonight
It didn't seem to hurt so bad beneath the painted sky
An' through the years of growin' up if somethin' made me cry
A place where dreams come true and no one ever says, "Goodbye"
Girls grow up and fall in love and that's how it is
Oh, I wish that I could live again beneath the painted sky
A place where dreams come true and no one ever says, "Goodbye"
It makes me wanna be back home beneath the painted sky
Sometimes the men don't love 'em like their Daddy's did
A place to go when this old world gets the best of me
Beneath the painted sky, that's where I want to be
A place to go when this old world gets the best of me
