Letra

I came to the city from the deep south, When the mills shut down. I married a man who treated me, Like he bought me by the pound. Packed my bags and left, With just 20 dollars in my purse, Took a lot of jobs, Went from bad to worse. Now my money's gone, I'm lying here on this lumpy bed. Now I don't know if I'm better off, Alive or dead. Hotel room west side, east side, Men knocking at my door, Hotel room west side, east side, And I don't care anymore. Then I met a guy smooth as silk, In a midtown bar, He told me with my good looks, I'd go very far. I didn't know what he meant, I thought he was heaven sent, 'Til I found out his sweet talking, Added up to street walking. That was the part, It finally broke my heart, I'm lying here on this lumpy bed, I don't know if I'm better off, Alive or dead. Hotel room west side, east side, Men knocking at my door, Hotel room west side, east side, And I don't care anymore. Don't care anymore, Money's all gone, Don't care anymore, Men knocking at my door.
