Sleepless

Again, listen to the lyrics. It's all on the table. Thanks Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.
She just laid down about quarter pst one in the am. She had one long day and four more coming her way. But, too much on her restless mind. She's short on money and short on time. But, at least she ain't starvin. Cockroach crawlin on her bed- aching back, and an aching head. So she rose to get a drink- tap water from the sink.

Sleepless in the sumer by the fan by her man, damn it's three am
Sleepless with a dream for a queen sized bed she said "Lord I need more daily bread"...

Mama can't help and dadyy ain't in the picture. Her card's maxed out and her man ain't rollin in figures. Got her mind set to make it. Anyway but getting naked- maybe get a third job. One last frozen dinner. She always wanted to be thinner- She finally got her wish- but didn't think it'd be like this...
