She got the keys for the very first time
She called him up
You wanna go for a ride?
This is freedom
He slides close
She thinks this must be love
Is this what I want?
Is it how it’s done?
I don’t know
It feels like freedom
Then she wakes
Turns on a bathroom light
Calls Aunt Emily up
Something just ain’t right
Oh child freedom
Say goodbye to freedom
We’ll get through this but Jesus Christ!
Baby girl did you have a choice that night?
Mom and dad never sat you down?
You didn’t get THE talk?
Can’t talk about it now
Could you have known better?
They should’ve known better
Your friends, your teachers
Now you know
They don’t come
From storks or Jesus
Why are you talking to me?
Why are you talking to me like this?
What’s done is done
Oh no child
It’s just begun
Hush my baby now
We’ll get through this all
Somehow
