Good As She Could Be Lyrics

Well she was a millionaire 
Before she was fourteen 
But there was an emptiness there 
That to practically everyone else could be
seen 
She hit up on the drug of love 
Though there was no hole in her arm 
There was a hole some place else 
About as big as dady 10.000 acre farm 

CHORUS: 
Oh, she was dying for it 
For all the world to see 
Ah, she was as good as she could be 

Well she had a baby at eighteen 
Never finished high school 
Her husband beat her for money and sex 
Till that cadillac finally ran out of fuel 
One disaster led to another 
Down to her and her baby son 
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth 
Headed south now 
Cause she was never born to run 

REPEAT CHORUS 
REPEAT CHORUS 

Well her momma died last year 
And her daddy he called her back home 
But when he opened the door 
He could not recognize 
This spectre of hair and bone 
But it was his own baby child 
Though she looked like an old woman now 
Well she lived ten lifetimes in five years 
Anywhere that the law would allow 

REPEAT CHORUS 
REPEAT CHORUS 
Yeah, she was good as she could be 
Ah, she was good as she could be
