Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis

Charlie I'm pregnant
and living on the 9th Street
right above a dirty bookstore
off Euclid Avenue
and I stopped takin ****
and I quit drinkin whiskey
and my old man plays the trombone
and works out at the track
and he says that he loves me
even though its not his baby
and he says that he'll raise him up
like he would his own son
and he gave me a ring
that was worn by his mother
and he takes me out dancin
every Saturday night
and hey Charlie I think about you
everytime I pass a fillin station
om account of all the grease
you used to wear in your hair
and I still have that record
of little Anthony and the Imperials
but someone stole my record player
now how do you like that?
hey Charlie I almost went crazy
after Mario got busted
so I went back to Omaha to
live with my folks
but everyone I used to know
was either dead or in prison
so I came back to Minneapolis
this time,I think I'm gonna stay
hey Charlie I think I'm happy
for the first time since my accident
and I wish I had all the money
that we used to spend on ****
I'd buy me a used car lot
and I wouldn't sell any of them
I'd just drive a different car every day
dependin on how I feel
hey Charlie for Chris sakes
do you want to know the truth of it?
I don't have a husband
he don't play the trombone
and I need to borrow money
to pay this lawyer,Charlie hey
I'll be eligible for parole
come valentines day
