I Try To Be a Good Girl

I sit here on this porch
Puffing on a other Camel Cig
Wonder where my life will go as I grow older
Will I ever find the guy of my eye?
Will I ever get to see my kids again?
Will my mother change her lien ways
I try to live my life to the fullest
But I always regret it 
I go to church when I can
I try to be a good girl
But it’s like trouble always seem to find me
Sometime it feels like god is punishing me 
Before my dad died
I had someone to run too 
And talk too 
Now I got No one but myself
I feel so alone in this world
God please give me sign
