A spandex dress, [Dsus2/C]fishnet hose
In the [Dsus2/B]pouring rain it was bitter cold
They found her there lying [Dsus2/C]in the street
Where she’d been [Dsus2/B]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 someone’s child, a precious miracle
She made someone smile, born beautiful
And even though she heard a different drum
And [G/F#]walked a different mile
She was someone’s child

Shady schemes and crooked dreams
He would tell you lies with nerves of steel
It’s just white collar crime no one gets hurt
He says if you’re that dumb it’s just what you deserve
Now he can’t stand the smell
Or the light that’s 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 rebellious Jew
Who died for me, who died for you

Chorus

It’s been two weeks since I’ve seen my kids
‘Cause my ex-wife won’t take my calls
They changed my shift at work
It’s getting cold and my shoulder hurts
But here I am, copin’ with it all

Dealin’ with the traffic, reelin’ from the fumes
Dealin with the everywhere I look bad news
And wonderin’ how on earth I should be feelin'
I’m dealin’ with my taxes and my 401k
Dealin’ with losin’ more ground every day
And reachin’ for a dream I still believe in
So I keep on dealin'

My best friend Joe just lost his mama
And someone stole my sister’s car
Oh but, they’ll get by as long as there’s
A thread of hope and a chain of prayer
I know it’s not been easy but so far

They’re dealin’ with the doctors, reelin’ from the pain
Dealin’ with the clouds and cursin’ at the rain
And wonderin’ how on earth they should be feelin
Dealin’ with the cost just to get from A to B
Dealin’ with the crazies and the crime in the streets
And reachin’ for a dream they still believe in
So they keep on dealin’

Break: Em C (x2)

This Ol’ world keeps turnin’ around
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
But it sure helps knowin’ that you’re not alone
Cause everyone is

Dealin’ witht the traffic, reelin’ from the fumes
Dealin with the everywhere we look bad news
And wonderin’ how on earth we should be feelin'
Yeah, I’m still dealin’ with the creditors that I can’t pay
Livin’ on a vision of a brighter day
And reachin’ for a dream I still believe in
So I keep on dealin’

Oooooooh, well I’m gonna keep on dealin’
Oooooooh, yeah, yeah

Oh, I’m gonna keep on dealin

Yeah, I’m dealin’, I’m just dealin’, ooooooooh
I’m just dealin'

And I’m gonna keep on dealin'
And we’re all dealin with the traffic, reelin from the fumes

Hey step aside brother, you’re blockin my view,
But let me pretends I”m talkin to[A/G#] you,
Cause I’m lookin at her, and I like what I see,
No don’t turn around she’s lookin at me,[A/G#] (lookin @ me)

(Pre-cho)
She knows I know (well, you know)

(chorus)
I gotta go before she runs like a fast little philly,
She’s a 5 alarm fire, a hot bowl of chilli,
and she’s burnin a hole in this hillbilly,
And I can’t let her get away,
I gotta say, somethin kinda funny, just a little bit crazy,
that will make her wanna think about bein my baby,
Cause I know what I want, and I ain’t waitin all day,
So hey, get outta my way (na na na na …..)

(verse 2)
I know I drove you here but well,

Yea she knows I know (well, come on you know)

(chorus)
