Hope is on the sidewalk standing in the snow
Waiting for the bus, it feels like all she's ever known
She'll make her three connections
It'll take her most the day
Ronnie will be waiting for her in his prison greens
Another Sunday spent among the dopers and the queens
Trying to suss out why it is
Things never go their way
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
She will do
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
To stay true
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
She was such a smart girl, she was mama's pride and joy
She was such a pretty girl, pursued by every boy
Then Ronnie came and Ronnie saw
And Ronnie was so sweet
And Ronnie knew just what to say to sweep her off her feet
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
She will do
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
To stay true
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Her future feels a million miles away
Her dreams feel like a million miles away
Oh, happy feels a million miles away
She knows he's not a bad kid, he's just misunderstood
She just wants him to straighten out, she knows he's really good
He's gotta get his shit together 'coz the baby's due in June
And twenty's too damn young for your life to be a ruin
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
She will do
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
To stay true
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
