Aberdeen

There's a girl in town she's got big green eyes long black hair

She's five foot four when it comes to the world she ain't got no cares

Daddy's not around and her brothers down in New Orleans

Her momma use to be a waitress down at the silver diner

Worked day and night trying to feed those kids wasn't a whiner

Hard working woman from head to toe must have passed it on in her genes

Her boyfriend left her last week on the curb down at the local church

Aberdeen how do you do it at 13

Growing up in that mad house just ain't the popular scene

Wonder if this is the American dream Aberdeen

When she turned 16 you know she had a baby boy

He put her life in a craze but that child gave her joy

His daddy never stuck around and at Christmas wouldn't even send him toys

Her brother moved down south to escape this situation

Said all this high-end drama hurt his low end reputation

He calls once a year to check on his share acting like he cares

She rarely answers if she does she answers with a snare

Aberdeen how do you do it at 23

Your story proves that freedom isn't free

Wonder how you stayed clean Aberdeen

Now she's 35 left that life behind

Climbed the ladder to a got a good job got her life redefined

Her son's now in college full scholarship artistic design

Now she's sitting back wearing stilettos sipping on red wine

Aberdeen you're flying high at 35

Around the world in a private jet soaring through the sky

Guess you found the American dream Aberdeen
