Lone car stopped
as I walked home that night
I ignored all the warnings
the young lady used
By the time that I knew
what he had on his mind
It was too far for screaming
and too cold for tears
Too far for screaming
and too cold for tears
I waited three months
for my story to tell
When the stairs fell on me
as I started to show
My mother said she wasn't
surprised that I fell
My friend said she never
hitched rides home before
Never seen a hitcher a ride home before
I see all the girls down at
the hair salon
They're thinking I don't know
which man got me this way,
but the boys at the bar
all know how they got on,
still I only know him by face but not name,
never since seen his face
and I don't know his name.
Solutions pose with a whispering fear
Now those doctors have
no morals and besides
It'll cost you too much if
you like living here
With doors open and cords closed
and an all smiles supply
Doors open and cords closed
and an all smiles supply
When the time comes for me
to hold that child to my breast
I feel only love all of
my heart hold down
I too see his face like I do embrace
A whiskey -fired breath
with his hand on my mouth
Whiskey -fired breath
with one hand on my mouth
A long car stopped
as I walked home that night
I ignored all the warnings,
a young lady
