There's nothing more terrifying than a beautiful woman in a wheel chair

Lyrics
She Rolls
She rolls, she’s the queen of the stroller, she rolls
Her dad’s got the power, but she’s got the glory, she rolls
Her smile is her headlight as she rolls through the grocery, she glows
Spreading cheer like sunshine...she grows
She rolls, she’s the queen of the Mustang, she rolls
Just like Sally...she rolls
Boys try to race her, a challenge to chase her
But there’s more to the contest, speed isn’t really her goal
She’s wild, she’ll take you with her, she rolls,
She’s tough, but something is out of control
She’s got the danger addiction, it’s your benediction, don’t go
She’s brave, she’s strong, not wise; she rocks, she rolls, she flies
She suffers them gladly, two bad husbands, she rolls
Four tough kids, she raises them hard, she rolls
Three educations, victory, desolation, she rolls
Bad choices, bad luck, bad news, bad karma, she rolls
And it all makes her stronger, she holds out longer, she rolls
Black and white at the high school reunion, we stroll
Everybody’s the same but everyone’s different, we’re old
We’re dim, we’re duller, till one splash of color
A smile like sunshine, you don’t need feet to roll
She was pretty in high school, but this is different, she rolls
Her long bare neck looks like pearls and diamonds, she rolls
It may look like a wheelchair, but she drives a chariot, she flows
No one needs to say it, she’s the queen of the prom, she glows
One last chance with her high school sweetheart, he’s blown
Danger be damned, he grabs the handles, it’s closed
Can’t stop what time starts, can’t rebuild from your parts
Twenty five years changes all but nothing, don’t go
She rocks, she rolls, she flies; she risks, she loves, she cries
Nothing is easy, nothing is simple,
No one feels good about dumping a cripple
But the world keeps turning, the heart stops burning,
She’s too strong for him, and besides square wheels won’t roll
Her friends can’t save her, she feels like the devil, alone
She’s still stronger than you when she can’t lift a finger
She faces down death, pain, and lost children
She just wants to leave, but the angel won’t let her, can’t go
She’s tired of this suffering all the way down to the bone
Nothing is moving, except in her dreams she rolls
She rolls over water, she rolls through the sky
She don’t need wings, she’s got wheels that can fly
Over the graveyard, even death can’t stop her, she rolls
They got wheels in hell, you better get them in heaven ‘cause she rolls
