The sky was grey
And the rain came pouring down
When she decided to take the risk
When she cried out
For the first time in her lfe
There was his light up in the skies
She was born
In the darkest part of town
In the middle of nowhere land
She grew up
Without a hope without a chance
But open eyes and head up high
The other kids
Didn’t understand the way she talked
And her father beat her up
Her mother told her
You gotta be like all the rest
Or you will stumble, you will fall
(She told herself)
One day I’m gonnna leave it all behind, oh Mama
One day I’m gonna go
She ran away
When the rain came pouring down
She decided to take the risk
She took a ride
In his brand new shiny car
Right into the city neon lights
He took her home
And showed her what it’s all about
And she thought that this was love
He sent her down
To the streets to please the boys
To cheer them up, to make them feel so fine
(He said)
That’s part of the deal
You’re my love and you’re my pride
Then he started to beat her up
(She told herself)
One day I’m gonnna leave it all behind, oh Mama
One day I’m gonna go
One night I get a ticket to the moon, oh Mama
One night so soon
(And she got herself a gun)
Oh today, I’m gonnna leave it all behind, oh Mama
Yes today, I’m gonna go
Yes tonight I get a ticket to the sun, oh Mama
And I’m gonna start to run
