have got a cardboard house,
live there all the time.
Keep your memories tied with string.
The gace that many once-adored,
twenty yeahrs gone maybe more.
Somewhere you lost the dream.
Mama watched your every move,
but now you are alone. She has been gone for a while.
Daddy left some time ago,
fading yeahrs pass too slow.
He has the only one, could make you smile -
oh, you are still crying -
big city bound.
Going to make you mark.
Read your name in the lights all the ads & people say,
beauty lets you get your way.
Tried your best to prove them right but living on the
streets aint bad,
sad people make you glad.
Pardon me, could you spare some change? -
oh, you are still crying -
street corner girl.
Watch the crowd go by,
fill your tin can with life.
Summer days tend to slip away like your men you could not
make them stay.
Hard to choose, whiskey or a wife.
Sometimes you wonder where is the end.
Where you goin´ where you been?
Happiness seems so hard to win.
Most never care to find, Della Brown sees it all the time.
Looking for that man to make her smile again.
