lyrics

Seven days old in her bedroom
She had the prettiest eyes
She wouldn't know how it feels to be loved
For one whole day in her life
Her daddy wouldn't come see her
Her mom is still drying out
Won't take her long to see for herself
She's all that she has now

Is she born to lose
Is it just her lot in life?
Is she in control
Or just along for the ride?
Change her trailer park
But can she change her mind?

She never did well in school
No one would ever ask why
Raindrops and pebbles may slip through the cracks
She'd say "it's no one's fault but mine"
She never gave them a reason
They never gave her the time
God knows she's trying to stand on her own
But southern dirt is shaky ground

Nobody told her 'cause they couldn't see
The view from the bottom and how to survive
Climbing a mountain is just as hard
As crossing the Bartow county line
