VERSE:
E                         E
Working the streets till way after dark

Drives a beat up Chevy back to the trailer park

Runs the shower to wash off the men
E               B               A               E
Tomorrow night she’ll do it again

But later on at the bar and grill

She’s drinking with her friends till she gets a thrill
