John Hiatt - Good As She Could Be Lyrics
Well she was a millionaireBefore she was fourteenBut there was an emptiness thereThat to practically everyone else could be seenShe hit up on the drug of loveThough there was no hole in her armThere was a hole some place elseAbout as big as dady 10.000 acre farmChorus:Oh, she was dying for itFor all the world to seeAh, she was as good as she could beWell she had a baby at eighteenNever finished high schoolHer husband beat her for money and sexTill that cadillac finally ran out of fuelOne disaster led to anotherDown to her and her baby sonBorn with a silver spoon in her mouthHeaded south nowCause she was never born to runChorus twiceWell her momma died last yearAnd her daddy he called her back homeBut when he opened the doorHe could not recognizeThis spectre of hair and boneBut it was his own baby childThough she looked like an old woman nowWell she lived ten lifetimes in five yearsAnywhere that the law would allowChorus twiceYeah, she was good as she could beAh, she was good as she could be
