Lyrics
Addie's a kid, she's a fool, she's a star, she's a queen
She lives in a trap down on third, never heard, never seen
She's desperate for a way to get out, she don't know what out means
Oh, Addie, don't you be so afraid, it's not as bad as it seems
She walks 'cross the floor toward the door to the stairs to the street
She calls up a cab for downtown, there's a man she must meet
Oh, the thought of what she's got to
Go through makes her cry to be free
Oh, Addie wipe those tears from your
Eyes, you wouldn't want him to see
She puts on a face with a smile as she walks through the door
She thinks of her folks and her home and what she came there for
She tells the man that after this time she won't be back for more
But he says, "Huh, Addie, don't you be a fool
You said the same thing time and time before"
La la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la
She runs down the street in the heat down past Nowhere Café
She drops to her knees 'neath the trees but she don't know how to pray
Oh, Addie, there's no life in that rig, why don't you pack it away?
Trust in God for a new kind of life and he won't lead you astray
La la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la
La la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la
Addie's a kid, she's a fool, she's a star, she's a queen
She lives in a trap down on third, never heard, never seen
She's desperate for a way to get out, she don't know what out means
Oh, Addie, don't you be so afraid, it's not as bad as it seems
La la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la
La la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la
