gettin her to write

gettin her to write
can be kinda hard
but in her head
she's got some thoughts
im tellin ya man
she's been through it all
you'd never imagine
how she's made it this far
but it's hard for her
to get her thoughts down
she's had her mom
and dad around, they frown
she tried to play
on her piano
but they'd scold her
and keep her from doing so
she'd spend hours
on the bus
trying to get home
from school in columbus
it was crazy
couldn't imagine
having a father
who'd beat his child
went around
road 'round the country
sold her body
in bad company
but what can you do
except listen and wince
the pain she's felt
makes a mind mince
she's a great girl
real nice and kind
the best parts of personality
got left behind
but the pain took alot
and knocked her about
she took her share of licks
no way around
but she's here now
and she's booking gigs
she's my girl
and together we have our kicks
