She Had An Abortion That She Made Me Pay For

Lyrics for She Had An Abortion That She Made Me Pay For

Her life was a heartbreaking mess She dug her smack and cigarettes And dug her whiskey and riding all And laid out stuff from whenever she would call The way it be but we'd be on ourself And we'd barely laugh as she often cried She had an abortion that she made me pay for That's all I gave her before she died Eighty dollars I had to peel off my back Well it's a long time now I lay wondering why Laying on my cube like it's epiphany Drowning in lard in a heap of sleep Dreaming of ghosts and river mama's eyes Yeah, I get enough to move me down the worst streets I run and swither in a bad habit Down past the park where the angel came for with my hand Oh and I walked in shadow with my tears crying And everything was out of my head Now what am I doing I got nothing to hide I go to river mama's side Well she heard the chains in my pocket I was walking home and she said "Darling you're looking awful lonely" I said "What a whore like you know" She put me back on the floor As she came out of the shadows to the side of the road I said "Man you look like someone I once knew" Oh no no no she had her eyes like yours So desperate she was still here Now we say in the ground nobody in the streets With next chapter like one chapter Jesus right there loved a whore and me We were all there with her She said "Why me I am never alone I never met a single soul I walk forever in the blackness But I can't see until I get home" And so now I look at you now that you're looking at me I look in your eyes and I offer you sin She heard you clearly I had been warned She had an abortion that she made me pay for
