Someone's Child Lyrics - Singles - Carolina Rain

A SPANDEX DRESS AND FISHNET HOSE 

IN THE POURING RAIN IT WAS BITTER COLD 

THEY FOUND HER THERE LYING IN THE STREET 

WHERE SHED BEEN TURNING TRICKS SINCE SEVENTEEN 

AND NO ONE KNEW HER NAME 

NO ONE GAVE A SECOND THOUGHT WHEN THEY PUT HER IN A COUNTY GRAVE 

CHORUS 

SHE WAS SOMEONES CHILD, A PRECIOUS MIRACLE 

SHE MADE SOMEONE SMILE, BORN BEAUTIFUL 

EVEN THOUGH SHE HEARD A DIFFERENT DRUM 

AND WALKED A DIFFERENT MILE 

SHE WAS SOMEONES CHILD 

SHADY SCHEMES AND CROOKED DEALS 

HE WOULD TELL YOU LIES WITH NERVES OF STEEL 

ITS JUST WHITE COLLAR CRIME NO ONE GETS HURT 

HE SAYS IF YOURE THAT DUMB ITS JUST WHAT YOU DESERVE 

NOW HE CANT STAND THE SMELL 

OR THE LIGHT THATS ALWAYS ON IN HIS EIGHT BY TEN FOOT CELL 

CHORUS 

THEY STRIPPED HIM BARE AND BEAT HIM DOWN 

AND GIFTED HIM WITH A THORNY CROWN 

WHO WAS THIS MAN THIS REBELIOUS JEW 

WHO DIED FOR ME, WHO DIED FOR YOU 

CHORUS
