Astro Motel
she moved into the astro
it was this have-not hotel
where the owner
were quite well adapted
at how to put her through hell
walls paper thin
the neighbors often yelled
you'd have been better off
half a mile down the street
at a place called the wishing well.
down the avenue santa rosa
she got a job cutting hair
times were tight and most of the while
she was sitting in the easy chair
after bout a week she wants to get
the hell out of there
when the manager tells her the news
she acted like she didn't even care.
"funny how," shes says, " i used to be the
one to scoff at the ladies who I look like today. better watch out who you're laughing at honey cause it just might be YOU some day. I used to think that i was invincible some misplaced joan of ark. But here i am now with a baby in my arm and I'm living in Juilliard Park."
you and me laughing about a guy who didn't get to where he was going to
you stopped laughing you looked me in the eye what are you looking at than he said you.......
think you're pretty clever son
you think you're pretty smart
better watch out where you're going
gonna live out of a shopping cart
walkin' and i'm walkin and i'm waiting
watchin' and i'm watchin' hesitating
walkin' and i'm walkin and i'm waiting
watchin' and i'm watchin' hesitating
she's doing better now got a house
down on the avenues
doesn't have the same kind of problems
she used to have a year ago or two
she works down at the center helping the poor and helping the meek
got a little goal for myself
gonna try to be nice to everyone i meet
walkin' and i'm walkin and i'm waiting
watchin' and i'm watchin' hesitating
walkin' and i'm walkin and i'm waiting
watchin' and i'm watchin' hesitating
