Her daddy left when she was ten
And she hasn't seen that man since then
Still she thinks about him every now and again
He ran around with every girl in town
When he was feeling bold he'd even bring 'em around
And they'd all go for a picnic at the old playground
Whenever mama wasn't around
Oh daddy's pretty friends were so much fun
It was their little secret what daddy had done
And when daddy left she thought 'bout each and every one
And wondered which one made him run
She's a pocketful of miracles
She held onto her heart through the cold and the dark
She's a pocketful of miracles
Well her mama raised her fast and wild
It wasn't long 'fore she learned just how far a girl can get with a smile
And she became the kind of girl who's always in style
Well she took off ruining down a wayward track
She hit every black mark and those marks hit back
When it came to bad choices that girl had a knack
And all the pills and powders and fucked up men
Couldn't put that girl back together again
There were too many mornings wondering if or when
Walking off another heartache in the January wind
She's a pocketful of miracles
She held onto her heart through the cold and the dark
She's a pocketful of miracles
She's a pocketful of miracles
She held onto her heart through the cold and the dark
She's a pocketful of miracles
She's a pocketful of miracles
She found a way to a brighter day
She's a pocketful of miracles
