she had other ways
i once knew a woman
she would not tell me her name
she lived down in Atlanta, an' every night
she burned that town with shame
with the voice of an angel
but a soul as black as pitch
should could sing for her supper
but could not love herself rich
she had other ways
oh she had one of them mansions
ponce de leon midtown way
an' all that she ever wanted
she had to fight for everyday
she was proud of them bruises
she could take the abuse
her nose, her veins, her heart, her tears
all dried up from use
she had other ways
up on the TV there
are a million of her ghosts
the pundits all mourn her passing
the divas raise a toast
so we all held a party
to come 'round and crown her heir
long live the queen of sorrow
from her snow-white chair
she had other ways

Sittin' in the Backseat

I'm sittin' in the backseat, leaning on the window
I can see your lips move though I can't hear you
Over the stereo
Puttin' all your anger down
on the floorboard
You don't even realize
Starin' into his eyes,
Victim of your own accord
Upset like the weather
Ruffled up your feathers
It's a big ole fiery mess
Can't feel my feet in this wreck,
Ten seconds til we're severed
I'm sittin' in the backseat, leaning on the window
I can see your lips move though I can't hear you
Over the stereo
Tempers roared like dragon's breath
N' I came face to face with death
Couldn't run the other way
Numb to the core...I just prayed
Held on so tight to my breath..
He loves you, don't you know
Promised he won't let you go
I saw him pull you from this wreck
An' I hoped for one more breath
To say I love you so...
I'm sittin in the backseat, leaning on the window
It's getting cold now, I'll see you somehow
Heaven's calling me to go
I'm sittin in the backseat, leaning on the window
I don't see your lips move, no, I can't hear you
Over the stereo
