Dawn Tyler Watson: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

She’s a two-bit girl in a ten-dollar dress, her eyes are weary and her hair’s a mess, but she will do what you want her to if you pay the price
And in a back street alley where the wind blows cold, at the end of a needle lies a pot of gold and while she’s gettin’ high she starts to cry cause it wont be long
And I say....
Hey Hey My My
What you gotta say when you’re on the road to die

Mabey you’ll consider givin’ life another try
Hey Hey My My

Well he’s a sad old man with a crooked smile and what he’s gotta tell you might take a while and so you hurry on your way as he starts to say “Hey Buddy, can you spare some change?”
And as he puts the bottle up to his lips to find a little bit of comfort in a couple of sips, you’ve already forgotten cause you got bills to pay, you keep steppin’ along your way and I say hey...(Chorus)

Just the other day they found another young man , bullet holes in his body and a gun in his hand, ain’t no surprise;
‘Cause in his pocket was a package full of little white lies
Don’t they know, Oh can’t they see that life is just as hard for you and me but we take it day to day, sometimes you gotta pray, everybody say hey...(Chorus)

Well there’s another baby comin’ cause she’s out to here and while she’s down at the tavern drinking beer there’s two more left alone back home
In their dirty diapers in a cold water shack and the man on TV says “I will be right back”
and in the child’s eyes I hear the mothers’ cries.....and I say....(Chorus) (Chorus)
