Let me tell ya about the lady at the edge of town
She's putting that money down,
Yeah puttin' it down, yeah she's puttin' it down, yeah, yeah
She needs a fancy eyeful of silk and lace
And she knows just the place for that wedding gown

She's got nobody, nobody to love
So she prays to the lord above
Yes the lord above, to the lord above, yeah, yeah
And she should've been safe from loneliness
By the way she doesn't press for that wedding gown

Cause she spent seven days
In that hurricane
And the rest of the city
Trying to stay out of the
Cold, snow and rain

Go Mattie, go

And his life just might depend on that winter coat
