[Verse 1]
I pull up in my red truck
She walk to the driver side and asked if she could ride shotgun
And warm up in the heat
So I said "yeah sure get in"
Well I must not forget
That she's still a woman and not just another whore

[Chorus]
And I know...that some things in life are not free
And I know...that if the king took better care of his people
Then it might not have to resort to this

[saxophone solo]

[Verse 2]
I said my name is Scotty
You've got a real nice body
And a real nice smile
It's a shame that you have to whore
Well it's my occupation being on the street for six months and I can't leave cause I got no place to go

And I know...that some things in life are not free
And I know...that if the king took better care of his people
Then you might not have to resort to this

Pick it up!

[Verse 3]
I asked, have you seen your daddy?
Went to jail for being bad
He shot three people dead
He left an orphan child
I said it's about time to leave
My make-ups good, your lipstick teeth
And I can leave
Cuz staying here is pointless

[Chorus]
And I know...that some things in life are not free
And I know...that if the king took better care of his people
Then you might not have to resort to this

[saxophone solo]

[Verse 4]
She said she's got this habit
Don't want it but she's gotta have it
She liked it when she started
But now it's a runaway train
Started seeing clearer
Eating breakfast on a mirror
Help me please
I don't like what I saw

[Chorus]
And I know...that some things in life are not free
And I know...that if the king took better care of his people
Then you might not have to resort to this
