I see a girl in the night
Em | D C |
With a baby in her hand
Em | D C |
Under an old street light
Em | D C | (syncopated rhythm ends)
Near a garbage can
Em | D C |
Now she puts the kid away and she”s gone to get a hit

That”s one more kid that will never go to school
Em | D C |
Never get to fall in love never get to be cool
