Lyrics

Cindy’s from Oklahoma, Jamie’s from Arkansas
Working the street corner on the North side of Omaha
Jamie was a cheerleader and Cindy the Prom Queen
Till the needle and the crack pipe took away their dreams

CHORUS:
Jesus sees a princess and the pimp just sees a whore
Preacher sees them through the windshield, looks ahead and locks the door
I wish that I could see this old world through different eyes
I know what others should do but when it comes to me I’m blind
Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the snake
But we’re the ones responsible for the choices that we make

Daddy remembers the day his little girl was born
Innocent in diapers crawling across the floor
The devil stole his angel, what did he do wrong
He’s on his knees every night, praying she’ll come home

CHORUS:
Jesus sees a princess and the pimp just sees a whore
Preacher sees them through the windshield, looks ahead and locks the door
I wish that I could see this old world through different eyes
I know what others should do but when it comes to me I’m blind
Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the snake
But we’re the ones responsible for the choices that we make

She can sleep on the streets or with her landlord
The drugs she need to numb the pain only cause her more
A twenty buys her body but it sure kills the soul
Such a high price to pay just to get the dope
