She paints her face with colored make-up Hides her eyes behind the shine And thoughts if things were different Come driftin' through the night For different men, for different stations Does any thing to pa** the time And thoughts if things were different Make that liquor burn feel kind She finds her solace in a bottle Her happiness in shame If all sins forgiven, she'll do it all again The gin joint is callin' Thoughts've been on dreams and wine And thoughts if things were different Come driftin' though the night She fumbles through her purse for nickels A dance to ease her weary mind And thought if things were different Make that whiskey burn feel kind She finds her solace in a bottle Her happiness in shame If all sins forgiven, she'll do it all again She lays her head on her pillow As she drifts off to sleep And things if things were different She prays the Lord her soul he'll keep She finds her solace in a bottle Her happiness in shame If all sins forgiven, she'll do it all again
