What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well she was a millionaire
2
Before she was fourteen
3
But there was an emptiness there
4
That to practically everyone else could be seen
5
She hit up on the drug of love
6
Though there was no hole in her arm
7
There was a hole some place else
8
About as big as dady 10. 000 acre farm
9
Chorus:
10
Oh, she was dying for it
11
For all the world to see
12
Ah, she was as good as she could be
13
Well she had a baby at eighteen
14
Never finished high school
15
Her husband beat her for money and s**
16
Till that cadillac finally ran out of fuel
17
One disaster led to another
18
Down to her and her baby son
19
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth
20
Headed south now
21
Cause she was never born to run
22
Repeat chorus
23
Repeat chorus
24
Well her momma died last year
25
And her daddy he called her back home
26
But when he opened the door
27
He could not recognize
28
This spectre of hair and bone
29
But it was his own baby child
30
Though she looked like an old woman now
31
Well she lived ten lifetimes in five years
32
Anywhere that the law would allow
33
Repeat chorus
34
Repeat chorus
35
Yeah, she was good as she could be
36
Ah, she was good as she could be
