lyrics

SHE WASN'T MUCH TO LOOK AT music and lyrics by Stanley Lake

She wasn't much to look at
Couldn't see herself past noon
Without her drink of rum and coke
Her world seemed like a sad sad joke
Her brother Bobby Grissom
Was servin' time in prison
Her mom was gone, her babies too
What was there for her to do

The sands were shifting, light was bending
Doors stayed closed, her breath suspending
Hapless Days led to tomorrows
All she felt was dust and sorrows
God she said I'm so abandoned
I'm left alone, I feel upended
My blues paraded in a row
My heart is dead nor will it grow

She wasn't much to look at...

She wasn't much to look at...
Couldn't see herself past noon
