[verse]
D5               G5
Well she was a millionaire
  D5                A5
Before she was fourteen
D5                G5
But there was an emptiness there
        D5                    A5
That to practically everyone else could be seen
D5                 G5
She hit up on the drug of love
             D5                  A5
Though there was no hole in her arm
D5           G5
There was a hole some place else
         D5                  A5
About as big as dady 10.000 acre farm

[chorus]
G5           A5
Oh, she was dying for it
D5                    G5
For all the world to see
G5              A5                 D5
Ah, she was as good as she could be

[intro]

[verse]
Well she had a baby at eighteen
Never finished high school
Her husband beat her for money and sex
Till that cadillac finally ran out of fuel
One disaster led to another
Down to her and her baby son
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth
Headed south now
Cause she was never born to run

[chorus]

[chorus]
Yeah, she was crying for it
Some credibility
Ah, she was good as she could be

[verse]
Well her momma died last year
And her daddy he called her back home
But when he opened the door
He could not recognize
This spectre of hair and bone
But it was his own baby child
Though she looked like an old woman now
Well she lived ten lifetimes in five years
Anywhere that the law would allow

[chorus]

[chorus]
Yeah, she was crying for it
Some credibility
Ah, she was good as she could be

[chorus]
Yeah, she was good as she could be
Ah, she was good as she could be
