SHE CRIED
It was a cozy little single wide trailer,
a home for her and her aging mother.
It was small but almost all their own.
She worked hard and tried to be a good daughter,
a heavy load on such a small shoulder,
she carried all alone.
But too many rainy days had taken what she'd saved up
with the final notice from the bank she finally gave up.....
So she cried...............
her tears were all she had left to spend,
all of her emotions spilling out down her cheek,
no, she couldn't speak, so she cried.
She went to work that morning scared and defeated
swallowed her pride and told her boss she needed
time off to find them a new place.
She didn’t know how she would handle
being the office water cooler scandal
or how she could show her face.
Before the morning coffee break the word got 'round
and everyone was talking 'bout how far she'd fallen down.
REPEAT CHORUS
They opened up their hearts and closed the office for the day,
someone borrowed a pickup truck, they found a place not far away.
She tried to thank them, but there were no words she could say,
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG yeah, she cried............
