Lyrics

“One Girl Away from Alone”
Capers Simmons

VERSE I
Chrissy came home from school one day
You could tell she had taken the long way, she said,
“Hey mama, how you feel.” But you could tell she didn’t care
Her mama sat  down at the table and sighed
Then she broke right down and she cried. And she was saying,
“Chrissy, girl, oh girl don’t you dare end up like me.”
Her mama was

CHORUS I
Living one girl away from alone 
On the backwater creek in a mobile home in Carolina
With a bottle of whiskey and a prayer for her Chrissy

VERSE II
Ronny crossed over the railroad tracks
Past the rundown shack where they sell that crack
And he recalled how he got his dirty eyepatch and he walked on by
But then he remembered the nights when he and his friends
Would cruise the town in the Mercedes-Benz and had money
And girls all over, but only one of them still wants him now
He’s just

CHORUS II
Living one girl away from alone
With a beat-up Chevy and a mobile phone that don’t work
Unless he pays the bill and he hasn’t in months

BRIDGE
Life gets hard to live when the world is at your back
And you’re always reminded of everything that you lack

VERSE II
Anna came home late last night, 
Her mama standing by that old porch light saying,
“You know I told you I’d ground your ass if you was late again.”
But Anna said, “Mama you can’t tell me what to do.
I’m eighteen now, so to hell with you. 
You never cared about me, and I don’t care about you anymore.”
Her mama was

CHORUS III
Living one girl away from alone
But Anna’s packing her bags and getting gone from Carolina
To live with a daddy that don’t know her name

CHORUS IV
Living one girl away from alone
Back in the woods on dirt road in Carolina
Where the crosses burned and the sweetgrass grows

CHORUS V
Living one girl away from alone
Where it’s easy to live your life unknown in Carolina
Where the hurricanes blow but the folks don’t move

Living one girl away from alone 
Where every story can become a song in Carolina
Where the Ashley River and the Edisto flow
