What would my life be without you
And your chain around my neck
Envy the girls that don't know you
Oh Ed
How many dollars to doctors
Will it take to erase you
How many tears on the bathroom floor
Will wash away what you do
I always said it's the last time
I always knew that's a lie
I always failed to leave Ed
God knows I tried
Don't know how I will get through tomorrow
Cause I'm just holding on today
But my Father above
Has not given up
And he walks with me all the way
Battling Ed's vicious cycle
Since the spring that I turned thirteen
My mamma cried when the doctor said
I'd die soon if Ed didn't leave
Dropped out of school to be treated
But Ed returned later on
When I pray to God I'm defeated
I hear him say I'm not
Don't know how I will get through tomorrow
Cause I'm just holding on today
But my Father above
Has not given up
And he walks with me all the way
Time and again he never left me
All alone in this fight
And by his grace he's gonna get me
To the other side
Don't know how I will get through tomorrow
But I call on the Lord for strength
Cause the Father above
Has not given up
And he walks with me all the way
Oh somehow I will get through tomorrow
By the powerful grace of God
Though the struggle is great
I will see the day
When the battle of Ed is done
Though the struggle is great
I will see the day
When the battle of Ed is done
Though the struggle is great
I will see the day
When the battle of Ed is won
