Song Description

The tale of an L.A. girl that ended up on the wrong side of life. Somehow, it's an infectious pop song about a hooker who has a surprising internal strength but plenty of regret, too.

Lyrics

High water marks on her cheeks
From crying herself to sleep
It�??s not her pain that she feels
No that one�??s much too deep

Cold city river drags the worst of them by her door
She�??s warm and lean and already seen enough
To leave them always wanting more

The long days are everyday
As she tries to forget everyone of them
She�??s too young to know
They�??re too old to care too much about anything

But there�??s a truth to every night
Behind the love and lies and �??I�??ll make it all right�?�s
She hears the truth to every night
That�??s why she lies her days away
Trying to forget everything

No country girl this one
Grew up only miles from here
So she knew what she was getting into
When she traded out for that first beer

Now holy days she crawls through the sand
And then swims a mile in the ocean
She�??s too strong to drown
But too long around here to wash away anything

And there�??s a truth to every night
That she finds staring her in the face under street lights
A truth to every night
Is one more than she can take
And she can take anything

And only hopes she won�??t see anyone
From anywhere that she cares about
And when he comes he�??s just another
Wedding band and that stupid grin
�??The money�??s right there, I�??ll see you again�?�

And that�??s the truth to every night . . .
