First, let me apologize that the song, at 5:10, is too long. I won't do it again, I promise.

I sang the lead, which is usually not a good thing. But it's not too bad on this one, I hope. Jess of fiverr sang the harmonies on the chorus.

LYRICS:
She signed herself out of St. E's
Didn't know where to go,
Picked her kid up from the orphanage (was "Boys Town")
Took him to the picture show

Where would they sleep that night
She finally found them a room
Toilet down the hall, bed kinda small
Hot plate, iron and broom

The Fathers, they gave her five dollars
Last til she draws a check
Gotta get down upon her knees
Beg for her old job back

CHORUS
How long will she last this time
How long can she fend
Sooner or later, sure as you're born,
They'll be back on the street again

The fan ain't running lately
The weather's hot as hell
Dampen up a dish cloth
Cause the kid ain't feeling well

She'd sure like some whiskey
The meds are not enough
There's ways to get the things you need
But men can be so rough

Soda pop's a nickel
Burgers cost a dime
Poor folks they eat cheaply
In 1959

CHORUS
How long will she last this time
How long can she fend
Sooner or later, sure as you're born,
They'll be back on the street again

The world is on her shoulders
There's voices in her head
Ask the Lord for room and board
He might as well be dead

Heat of summer passes
Winter's on its way
Hope the radiator works
And keeps the cold at bay

Didn't get so lucky
Does anybody care?
Both of them start hacking
In the frigid air.

CHORUS
How long will she last this time
How long can she fend
Sooner or later, sure as you're born,
They'll be back on the street again
