Two kids in a double wide
Waiting 'til mama gets home to turn off the lights
The TV keeps us safe at night

In the morning we go to school
Lunch boxes full of canned vegetables
And Tupperware we'll wash in the bathroom

Get a job at fourteen, sweeping up trash in the back of the diner
Where the upperclassman plan to eat stale fries
After their Friday night joyrides

Take the city bus home
And a man sits a little bit too close
Get off at the next stop and walk the rest of thе way home in the dark
