Song For Fay

Sun comes up in the morning

See that sunrise forming

All the pretty colors

Shining down on the water

I don't know about heaven

But I put in my dollar

Let's see what it buys me

Rest and a little dinner

Walking down the highway

Thirsty for some water

Men keep looking my way

Wonder what they're wanting

I don't know about heaven

But I put in my dollar

Mister, what you show me

Don't think I'm not learning

Maybe it's my brother

Always tried to save us

Maybe it's my daddy

He ain't good for nothing

I don't know about heaven

But I put in my dollar

Don't you try and stop me

Til' I get where I'm going

Watching all the women

Making sense of living

All their little babies

Aren't we supposed to have them

I don't know about heaven

But I put in my dollar

Answers for the taking

Now that I'm a woman

Sun comes up in the morning

See that sunrise forming

All the pretty colors

Shining down on the water

I don't know about heaven

But I put in my dollar

I don't know about heaven

But my purse is on my shoulder

I don't know about heaven

But my purse is on my shoulder
