Street Soldier Lyrics

Pretty thing,
Standing on the corner
she's only fifteen
looking so much older
she stands alone
no one to hold her
she ran from home
she's now a street soldier

Her boyfriend's got her back
He says he loves her
He fills her full of crack
So she doesn't suffer

She tells herself
She'll be just fine
But inside her soul is dying

Where's your mother?
Where's your father?
Don't they care about their
baby daughter?
You could have loved her
You could have hugged her
She was your child
She was your daughter

She went to church
Believed in her preacher He touched her body
Said he'd be her teacher
She cries inside
No one to hear her
She walks the streets at night
No one can see her

The car pulls up
"Hop in, little honey"
She knows its wrong,
but she really needs her money

Hey there mother
Hey there father
You could have saved your
baby daughter
Hey there mother
Hey there father
They found her dead
at the bottom of a dumpster
They found her dead
at the bottom of a dumpster

Hey there mother
Hey there father
You could have saved your
street soldier
