She was young
|
and I was older.
|
She believed everything I told her.
|
She gave her heart and soul to me
|
and more I wanted.
|
She left home
|
And gave her life to
|
Me alone
|
and I had no right to
|
Treat her like I treated those before,
|
But she loved it and wanted more.
|
|
Sometimes I'd lie to make her happy.
|
Sometimes she'd lie to see if I would lie some more.

|
I hear now
|
She's a mother,
|
North Carolina with her lover.
|
And I'll bet she daily cusses me
|
And she's got reason for it.
|
But I hope life
|
There is better
|
But I hope he don't let her
|
Have too much time to spend alone
|
'Cause she's a woman without a home.
