lyrics

She was just about seventeen
When she hit the streets
She had to do what she did
If you know what I mean
‘cause life at home was not about to change
And she couldn’t live that way
There was nothing no one could say
To make her stay
She said

Forgive me Jesus for what I have done
But God as my witness I had to run

Momma said move along girl
And try and move up in this world
It’s time to make your stand
But don’t bite the hand that feeds
Stand tall and proud
Oh and never cry out loud
Keep a smile on your face
Even when you’re in disgrace

Gorgive me Jesus for what I have done
But God as my witness I had to run

And in the night she crys out
Good lord please help me now

Forgive me Jesus for what I have done
But God as my witness I had to run

Forgive me Jesus for what I have done
But God as my witness I had to run
