Street Walker
Walking the streets
All she needed was work
A smart young girl
Had a job as a clerk
Now she walked the streets late at night
Fumbled for money
Trying to find a home
Someone gesturing at her calling honey
Knowing this was her way out
Her fastest way to money
So she buried her pride
And sold her body
Still walking the streets
No way out
This is the only choice she had
As she stumbled about
No soul left to hold on
No faith left inside
$20 …that's all it took
Still walking the streets
No way out
This is the only choice she had
As she stumbled about
