I wrote this song last night. Here are the lyrics…

“Somewhere in our great country 
She met an alright guy 
He showed her his apartment 
He couldn’t hide his pride 

When she refused to bed him 
He didn’t like her tone 
The door was locked behind them 
No one else was home 

Now the stars don’t shine for her at night 
They’re just holes in the sky 
they don’t give no light 
And the darkness lingers 
Endlessly 
For she must carry the seed 

Somewhere in our great country 
Daddy’s little girl 
Does her fathers bidding 
She’s never seen the world 

They go to church on Sunday 
He seems a righteous man 
Though often she looks frightened 
And no one understands

That the stars don’t shine for her at night 
They’re just holes in the sky 
they don’t give no light 
And the darkness lingers 
Endlessly 
For she must carry the seed 

She grew up in our great country  
Young and pretty too 
She dreamed to be a mother 
That dream almost came true 

But her baby died inside her 
before she was due 
When she was forced to have her 
 she came out still and blue 

Now the stars don’t shine for her at night 
They’re just holes in the sky 
they don’t give no light 
And the darkness lingers 
Endlessly 
For she must carry the seed”
