She was born poor abused by her father
On playgrounds bullied on her weight
Dropped out of school with no future
She was laughed at on blind dates
pre
Eighteen years working at a gas station
Late paramedics her pulse was taken
Ch
Heavenly Heaven welcomed Faith
She got a halo and wings
And flew away
Saw Jesus in his glory
God waved his hand
She's in angel Disneyland
Life handed out nothing but sad
But Heavenly Heaven welcomed Faith
v2
A picture of her next to cigarettes
A Tribute of sorts of her smiling face
People say ya never know who's next
The manager said "She just got a raise
pre
Where's she at now no need for that"
I bought chips filled up the tank
Ch
bridge
Clocks keep moving
We barley notice she's gone
Nothing but memories
Wrapped up in this song
Ch
Heavenly Heaven welcomed Faith
She got a halo and wings
And flew away
Saw Jesus in his glory
God waved his hand
She's in angel Disneyland
Life handed out nothing but sad
As church bells on Sunday rang
When Heavenly Heaven welcomed Faith

Yep', definitely prefer the acoustic treatment... suits your vocal style.

However,
You would probably do well with some heavier swingin' 4chord blues too wink


The journey is definitely more important than the destination...

This is a stunningly great lyric, Elvis.....the simplicity of the lines captured her entire life before you even got to the first chorus....powerful man....I love how you kept it simple through the comments of others....that’s how people talk....

love these lines

The manager said “She just got a raise”.....a perfect statement to capture the moment

and the response..... where she’s at now, no need for that...that is what someone would say

bought chips and filled up the tank....wow!!....life continues on

but the line I love the most....life handed out nothing but sad...this says it all

This is how to write a lyric

Steve

Ooooohhhhhhh absolutely top notch....and yes, that "She just got a raise"....what a line!

Been lurking and listening...this made me surface.


If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop

Its hard to write a song simply but interesting , Its basically a true story of a girl named Cathy I saw at Shell everyday
I changed her name to Faith for the double meaning
yes there's a picture of her in the store.
thanks for listening and the kind words Steve and John .

When I read the lyric, I thought it might be a true story...it had a natural feel to it...thanks for the info
