One More Car

She is freezing but she gets into one more car. It has been a slow night. She will help this lonely man feel less lonely And she will have more money to feed her Waiting six-year-old boy. He is hungry. And so is she. If she has just a little more they will have a Better Christmas. She makes lively conversation. She is sweet. But he is not lonely And she never makes it home.
