Stranger In My Mirror

A little girl, her grandma's world
But, daddy left 'em
She wonders where he's gone, no one will tell
Everyone, just says he's gone
So he must be, in heaven
But, momma says that he can go to hell

Momma's dying, tryin' to be someone she ain't
She goes downtown, without fear
At night, before, she puts a lot of powder and paint
On a stranger, in the mirror
On a stranger, in the mirror

A big girl now, she knows somehow
She'll find, the answers
Her boyfriend even lets her use his car
To go to work, he's such a jerk
But she's, a dancer
And lots of bigshots hang out in this bar
She's smokin' good smoke and drinkin' village wine
It's gonna be a very good year
She's feelin' fine, choppin' rocks and doin' lines
On a stranger, in the mirror
On a stranger, in the mirror

The deed is done, they're glad she's gone
But, they, all say that
They're really sad she had to go away
But her new friends, come by again
Brothers, Toad and Packrat
They're really sad she can't come out to play
Her momma told her that she should be too proud to beg
She wishes her momma was here
To hold her close and tell her honey, don't be afraid
Of the stranger, in the mirror
Of the stranger, in the mirror
