She's Alive Bremer/McCoy

A boy to raise At a young age No help from him But she's alive To be made strong But all alone Must be a pain But she's alive The year was 1975 That night crickets cried They knew what was going down Three girls travel a long country road And one said she thinks it's time This baby wants to come right now A boy to raise At a young age No help from him But she's alive To be made strong But all alone Must be a pain But she's alive I was scufflin' going to school I was scufflin' working at night And you know what I truly believe And that's why I tell a lot of parents Single parents, don't tell me what God can't do I made sure you had I never felt like you should be deprived of anything If a man didn't want to take care of his child You move on And that's what I did I moved on A boy to raise At a young age No help from him But she's alive To be made strong But all alone Must be a pain But she's alive A boy to raise At, at a young age No help from him But she's alive He always wanted to be a father But he never took care of you He ain't have no money He ain't have nothing How can you care about somebody And you never give the welfare of them A boy to raise At a young age No help from him But she's alive To be made strong But all alone Must be a drag But she's alive A boy to raise At a young age No help from him But she's alive To be made strong But all alone Must And I knew I had to go that road by myself She's alive
