Rachel - Gary Stewart

Rachel pays good money for the clothes she wears

For her there’s nothing gained without a cost

Twice a week she comes to see me now

And twice a week she leaves me lost

Somewhat like a kid she is at forty two

Her slender body shows the miles

Two husbands gone, Lord and one’s still at home

They gave her money, but no child

Her starving body craves a man to love

While in her heart, she wants a child

I’m just the answer to a mother’s love

And to a young girl’s hungry eyes

Now Rachel she’s the leading lady of this town

She plays the role as smooth as ice

She’s the woman standing behind her man

And I’m just the kid behind the wife

Rachel taught me things I guess I’d have never known

Like how this world is run on pride

If you can’t see yourself with nothing on

Then you’ve got nothin' left to hide…
