She was young and I was older she believed everything I told her She gave her heart and soul to me and more I wanted She left home and gave her life to me alone and I had no right to Treat her like I treated those before but she loved it and wanted more Sometimes I lied to make her happy Sometimes she'd lie to see if I would lie some more I hear now she's a mother North Carolina with her lover And I'll bet she daily causes me and she's got reason for it But I hope life there is better but I hope he don't let her Have too much time to spend alone 'cause she's a woman without a home
