Della Brown Lyrics

You've got a cardboard house Live there all the time Keep your memories tied with string
The face that many once adored Twenty years gone maybe more Somewhere you lost the dream
Mama watched your every move But now you're all alone Yeah she's been gone for awhile
Daddy left some time ago Fading years pass too slow He's the only one, could make you smile, smile
Oh, you're still crying
Big city bound gonna make your mark Read your name in the lights All the ads and people say, beauty let's you get you way Tried your best to prove them right
But living on the streets ain't bad Sad people make you glad Pardon me, could you spare some change?
Oh, you're still crying
Street corner girl watch the crowd go by Fill your tin can with life, summer days tend to slip away Like your men you couldn't make them stay Hard to choose, whiskey or a wife
Sometimes you wonder where's the end Where you goin' where you been? Happiness seems so hard to win
Most never care to find Della Brown sees it all the time Looking for that man to make her smile again
Oh, you're still crying
