I Fly - Carrie Newcomer

The women from the PTA whisper

They sideways glace when I walk by

They say look how far she's fallen

And anit it just appallin'

While they gossip grocery line

But a woman's gotta do

What a woman's gotta do

Cause there's always rent to pay

But when your kids need new shoes

There's nothin' left to do

But to put my pride away

But I I fly over this town

When the sky bleeds

And the bars all close down

But I still hope and I pray

For something someday

I tried cleanin' houses

And worked at the dollar mart

But to see my baby boys go hungry

It very nearly broke my heart

I'm not eap and I'm not easy

I'm just paradin' my groceries

And I can handle calls and stares

For just a few more years

'Til no one wants to look at me

But I I fly over this town

When the sky bleeds

And the bars all close down

But I still hope and I pray

For something someday

I like to stop in after workin

For little kindness and a cup of joe

And the waitress is always nice to me

Even though I think she knows

She always asks me how I doin

If my kids caught that awful flu

Once she put her hand on my hand

And said

“Honey you just do whata gotta do ”

But I I fly over this town

When the sky bleeds

And the bars all close down

But I still hope and I pray

For something someday
