Story poem
She's a Full Grown Woman.

Muffler dragging late for work couldn't make ends meet
Family life got the better of me couldn't take any more that week
Thinking I'd just cut 'n' run when fate showed me a sign
Saw a man with a faded picture who looked old beyond his time

Then he looked up from the battered locket he must have worn for years
The ash from his stogie fell to the ground and landed beside a tear
Said it may not look this way to you but there's a hard lesson I have learned
You don't know how high you’re flying till you've already crashed and burned

By now she'll be a full grown woman
Girl about town with a chip on her shoulder about a Daddy who let her down
Said there's nights I wake up screaming still see the tears streaming down her face
Stay home and watch your children grow ain't a rainbow worth the chase

Never told her about the man I'd seen who looked old beyond his years
But I was there at her graduation so proud my eyes overflowed with tears
Now it may not look this way to you but there's a hard lesson I have learned
You don't know how high you're flying till you've already crashed 'n' burned

Cos' by now she'd be a full grown woman
Girl about town with a chip on her shoulder about a Daddy who let her down.
