The kids are doin without
Found the coke plate under the sink
But she’s still planning on goin out tonight
She’s been married twice
Third times the charm
A new man and two babies wrapped in her arms

Chorus

And ohhh ain’t it a shame
All them times you had to change your name
And ohhh the words from the priest
I now pronounce you liar and thief


Only thing she had to show
For all the money that was made
Was a raw nose and a habit to gain
And he was just like the rest
He cheated and he stole
But deep down she knew those too were in her soul
She did the same with no self control

Chorus

And ohhh ain’t it a shame
All them times you had to change your name
And ohhh the words from the priest
I now pronounce you liar and thief


One day the kids grew up
And she was all alone
Those walls she built still stood like stone
As she took another line
That man crept into her mind
How him and the drugs run her family from home
