Good As She Could Be

Bem, ela era uma milionáriaWell, she was a millionaire
Antes de completar quatorze anosBefore she was fourteen
Mas havia um vazio aliBut there was an emptiness there
Que praticamente todo mundo podia verThat to practically everyone else could be seen
Ela se entregou à droga do amorShe hit up on the drug of love
Embora não houvesse buraco em seu braçoThough there was no hole in her arm
Havia um buraco em outro lugarThere was a hole some place else
Do tamanho da fazenda de dez mil acres do papaiAbout as big as dady 10.000 acre farm

Nunca terminou o ensino médioNever finished high school

Até que aquele Cadillac finalmente ficou sem combustívelTill that Cadillac finally ran out of fuel
Um desastre levou a outroOne disaster led to another
Até ela e seu filhinhoDown to her and her baby son
Nascido com uma colher de prata na bocaBorn with a silver spoon in her mouth
Agora indo para o sulHeaded south now
Porque ela nunca nasceu para correr'Cause she was never born to run

Bem, a mamãe dela morreu no ano passadoWell, her momma died last year
E o papai a chamou de volta para casaAnd her daddy he called her back home
Mas quando ele abriu a portaBut when he opened the door
Ele não conseguiu reconhecerHe could not recognize
Esse espectro de cabelo e ossoThis spectre of hair and bone
Mas era sua própria filhinhaBut it was his own baby child
Embora agora ela parecesse uma velhaThough she looked like an old woman now
Bem, ela viveu dez vidas em cinco anosWell she lived ten lifetimes in five years
Em qualquer lugar que a lei permitisseAnywhere that the law would allow
