Seventeen years old
\nLiving out in the cold
\nGot a kid under each arm, another on the way
\nSusceptible to hate and harm, same thing every day.<\/p>\n
She’s got no job, she’s on welfare
\nHer mom and dad, don’t even care
\nShe used to dream of being prom queen
\nHere she is, she’s only seventeen.<\/p>\n
Can’t count how many time she’s been to jail
\nWho will she get to pay her bail?
\nWho’s gonna come to the rescue this time?
\nWill she turn to a life of crime?
\nBeen raped while she’s out on the street
\nBeen hit, abused, shot and beat.<\/p>\n
She’s got no job, she’s on welfare
\nHer mom and dad, don’t even care
\nShe used to dream of being prom queen
\nHere she is, she’s only seventeen.<\/p>\n
Got the page about 8 o’clock
\nGot no car, so she started to walk
\nKnocked on the door, he let her in
\nSaid it was about time to begin
\nTakes her money, then she leaves
\nAin’t doing nothing wrong, so she believes<\/p>\n
Got no direction in her life
\nShe’ll never be anybody’s wife
\nToo many kids and too many problems
\nThere is no one that can solve them.<\/p>\n
Thought she’d found Mr. Right.
\nHe beat on her every night.
\nHe thought he was doing the right thing.
\nShe’s only seventeen.
\nIs there a way she can fix all that’s wrong?
\nIn a gutter, singing the same old song.<\/p>\n
She’s got no job, she’s on welfare
\nHer mom and dad, don’t even care
\nShe used to dream of being prom queen
\nHere she is, she’s only seventeen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
