Pearl Lyrics - Singles - Brokop Lisa

They'd say Pearl go get your boots on, we've got a field to plow 

Girl put down that book you aint got no time to read right now 

Mama she don't know the kind of visions that I see 

But my ticket to the world is the soul inside of me 

She'd go barefoot down to Beale street, she had no fancy shoes 

She's tell them she was 21 and got paid to sing the blues 

She'd crawl back into her window every night at 2: 00 am 

And pray her daddy didn't come to steal her innocence again 

But finally she had her bus fare 

They never found out where she'd gone 

She left a note that said I'm goin' someplace 

To make this life a better home 

They'd say Pearl go get your boots on, we've got a field to plow 

Girl put down that book you aint got no time to read right now 

Mama she don't know the kind of visions that I see 

But my ticket to the world is the soul inside of me 

I met her in a lonely church one cloudy afternoon 

She was singin' softly to the Lord and fillin' up the room 

I said I've seen you on the big stage, lights and glory all around 

Pearl what brings you to this place, she said it's my hometown 

And I need just like the next one to remember who I was 

So I've come back to find forgiveness 

To see my past through eyes of love
