Amy's Blues

Well she's a good girl
takin care of her mother
She's raisin up her sister
and her two little brothers

Yes she's a good girl
got a good heart
and she's got a good plan
just gotta find a good man

Her daddy's up in heaven
he worked in the mine
her momma's got the cancer
she ain't far behind

yes she's a good girl
seen a lotta pain in this world
but she's got a good plan
just gotta find a good man


And sometimes at night
she cries herself to sleep
but the morning comes and
she's right back on her feet
She's heard all those lines before
she isn't gonna listen anymore


She gets up in the morning
She takes them kids to school
Goes to work at the diner
The rent's already overdue
Yes, she's a good girl
Just tryin to make it in this world
And she's got a good plan
Just gotta find a good man

And sometimes at night
she cries herself to sleep
But the morning comes
and she's right back on her feet
She's heard all them lines before
She isn't gonna take it anymore

Well she's a good girl
Livin in a lonely world
Only ever wanted one thing
To wear a wedding ring

Yes she's a good girl
got a good heart
and she's got a good plan

Guess I'll have to be a good man
