| You’ve got a cardboard house
|
| Live there all the time
|
| Keep your memories tied with string
|
| The face that many once adored
|
| Twenty years gone maybe more
|
| Somewhere you lost the dream
|
| Mama watched your every move, but now you’re all alone
|
| She’s been gone for awhile
|
| Daddy left some time ago, fading years pass too slow
|
| He’s the only one, could make you smile
|
| Oh, you’re still crying
|
| Big city bound
|
| Gona make your mark
|
| Read your name in the lights
|
| All the ads and people say, beauty lets you get you way
|
| Tried your best to prove them right
|
| But living on the streets ain’t bad, sad people make you glad
|
| Pardon me, could you spare some change
|
| -Oh, you’re 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 couldn’t make them stay
|
| Hard to choose, whiskey or a wife
|
| Sometimes you wonder where’s 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 |
