Street girl By Kevin Carnett

Every night she closes her eyes.

Tries to drown out the looks from those predator guys.

She walks down the streets of L. A.

Looking for a warm place To stay tonight

Only sixteen when she packed everything she owns ….

In search for a new life.

When she left home she never knew what these streets were gonna be like tonight.

Cocaine working on her head again

It looks like this little girl is close to dead again.

Selling her body in the city of sin

You’re a street girl

Trying to get back in your feet girl,

You’re a street girl

why’d you leave home girl

You used to be such a sweet girl

You’re a street girl

Why don’t you call back home and let your folks know you’re alright girl

Don’t get caught up in the middle of the night girl

She never called home to see if momma was alright

She left a hidden storm

When daddy’s liquor started the fight

She finally gets to sleep at the crack of dawn.

And when the night falls she’ll wake up alone.

And stare at the mirror at a face so cold

You’re a street girl

Trying to get back in your feet girl,

You’re a street girl

why’d you leave home girl

You used to be such a sweet girl

You’re a street girl

Why don’t you call back home and let your folks know you’re alright girl

Don’t get caught up in the middle of the night girl

She finally gets to sleep at the crack of dawn

And when the night falls she’ll wake up alone
