Darrell Scott - Life Is Cheap lyrics
[Darrell Scott - Life Is Cheap lyrics]
She's awakened every morning
With her baby down the hall
When he's cried to sleep she's
Staring at the wall
And in that wall she sees the devil
Staring out of knotty pine
Though she speaks out loud he
Will not get behind
She's a woman with wounded spirit
She's a woman who's loved too much
Like her mama always says she's
Such an easy touch
She found her own way in this city
She don't take no more abuse
Watches her headlights on the ceiling as she
Put her mama legs to use
Now did you think it would be different
All your wishes comin' true
Oh life is cheap but lady it's not free
Oh you gotta pay attention
To the eyes in your rear view
'Cause when it's coming down it
All comes down to you
She recalls the night she left him
After his last drunk attack
Oh Cleveland-bound she never once looked back
Yeah he was laughing in the kitchen
Cigarettes and rolled up sleeves
He said "come on girl is
It time again to leave"
Now did you think it would be different
All your wishes comin' true
Oh life is cheap but lady it's not free
Oh you gotta pay attention
To the eyes in your rear view
'Cause when it's coming down it
All comes down to you
Now did you think it would be different
All your wishes comin' true
Oh life is cheap but lady it's not free
Oh you gotta pay attention
To the eyes in your rear view
'Cause when it's coming down
It all comes down it all comes down
It all comes down to you
Life is cheap but it ain't free
Life is cheap but it ain't free
Life is cheap but it ain't free
Oh life is cheap but it ain't free
Life is cheap but it ain't free
Life is cheap but it ain't free
With her baby down the hall
When he's cried to sleep she's
Staring at the wall
And in that wall she sees the devil
Staring out of knotty pine
Though she speaks out loud he
Will not get behind
She's a woman with wounded spirit
She's a woman who's loved too much
Like her mama always says she's
Such an easy touch
She found her own way in this city
She don't take no more abuse
Watches her headlights on the ceiling as she
Put her mama legs to use
Now did you think it would be different
All your wishes comin' true
Oh life is cheap but lady it's not free
Oh you gotta pay attention
To the eyes in your rear view
'Cause when it's coming down it
All comes down to you
She recalls the night she left him
After his last drunk attack
Oh Cleveland-bound she never once looked back
Yeah he was laughing in the kitchen
Cigarettes and rolled up sleeves
He said "come on girl is
It time again to leave"
Now did you think it would be different
All your wishes comin' true
Oh life is cheap but lady it's not free
Oh you gotta pay attention
To the eyes in your rear view
'Cause when it's coming down it
All comes down to you
Now did you think it would be different
All your wishes comin' true
Oh life is cheap but lady it's not free
Oh you gotta pay attention
To the eyes in your rear view
'Cause when it's coming down
It all comes down it all comes down
It all comes down to you
Life is cheap but it ain't free
Life is cheap but it ain't free
Life is cheap but it ain't free
Oh life is cheap but it ain't free
Life is cheap but it ain't free
Life is cheap but it ain't free
