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 sex
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
CHORUS TWICE
23
Well her momma died last year
24
And her daddy he called her back home
25
But when he opened the door
26
He could not recognize
27
This spectre of hair and bone
28
But it was his own baby child
29
Though she looked like an old woman now
30
Well she lived ten lifetimes in five years
31
Anywhere that the law would allow
32
CHORUS TWICE
33
Yeah, she was good as she could be
34
Ah, she was good as she could be
