Written for women in tough situations everywhere.

I use close friends in the music profession when I'm recording or preforming live.

Even though I wrote this song a few years back I just recorded it in March of 2006 in Edmonton Alberta.

Story behind the song

This song was written for all women everywhere who find themselves in difficult domestic situations

Lyrics

SHE LIVES IN A FLAT DOWNSTAIRS WHERE THE RAIN GETS IN
SHE’S CARRYING SOME GUY’S KID WHO’S OUT AGAIN
ITS WAY PAST MIDNIGHT AND THE KIDS AIN’T IN
AND MOM’S IN A STEW DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
HER FUTURES’ LOOKIN’ GRIM
AND DADDY AIN’T STRONG HE AIN’T GOT LONG
HIS PATIENCE THEY’VE WORN TOO THIN

SHE THINKS OF A DREAM OF THIERS THEY HAD ONE DAY
TO SAVE UP SOME BUCKS AND FINALLY GET AWAY
SOMEHOW THAT ALL GOT LOST ALONG THE WAY
AND MOM’S IN A STEW DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
HER HOPES ARE WEARIN’ THIN 
AND DADDY’S LONG GONE IT’S TIME TO MOVE ON
AND MAKE PLANS FOR HERE ON IN

HER TEARS LIKE RIVERS STREAMING
THE KIDS HYENAS SCREAMING 
OH NO SHE SURE COULD USE A FRIEND
THROUGH HELL SHE KEEPS IT GOING
THE KIDS LIKE BAD WEEDS GROWIN’
AH NA SOMETIMES YOU JUST CAN’T WIN

SHE GETS DOWN ON HER KNEES AND STARTS TO PRAY
SHE KNOWS EVERY WORD BY HEART SHE WANTS TO SAY 
SHE TURNS TO THE STARS ABOVE FOR ONE LAST RAY
BUT HER LUCK’S ALL GONE SHE STRUGGLES ON
IT’S UP HILL ALL THE WAY 
AND MOM’S IN A STEW DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
SOMETIMES IT’S JUST THAT WAY

HER TEARS LIKE RIVERS STREAMING
THE KIDS HYENAS SCREAMING 
OH NO SHE SURE COULD USE A FRIEND
THROUGH HELL SHE KEEPS IT GOING
THE KIDS LIKE BAD WEEDS GROWIN’
