Song For Fay

Herring Caroline

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
