Carolea
Words and Music by A.D. Nation


she came out west from the show me state
with her daddy's blue eyes and her mama's blind hate
she didn't know much, but she knew the rules
what she needed to learn she would find in L.A.
not back in that school
she didn't want to read about it
now she wanted to see
she's carolea
she's carolea
she's carolea
yeah, she was never quite sure what she wanted to be

just a little girl alone in a brand new place
with a devious mind and a beutiful face
ever since she was a baby she had learned how to play
she wanted the money in her hand from the easiest way

all her friends said stop girl you can't pay the price
but the hard way up don't appeal to the beast inside
she doesn't want to just hear about the better life
now she's ready to be
she's carolea

she never tells the truth to the folks back east
the truth about the drugs and the men she gets paid to please
and they won't know
what they don't see
that finally now after all those years
she can let the beast inside run free
she's carolea
