Cherry - Josh Woodward

Sweet little Cherry got her hands in her pockets

And she’s waiting for a downtown train

High heel boots with the straps hung low

And her head hanging down in shame

The wolves all dress up just like sheep

And the go and hit the town

Cherry never sees 'em

But they’re hanging all around

Sweet little Cherry got a switchblade Jimmy

Come and take her down to 4th and Main

Her mind in a haze of the better days

Before her body was an ad campaign

But now the filthy crooks and pocketbooks

Are all that Cherry sees

The dashboard dogs and backseat hogs and

Down onto her knees

I am tempted, I am weak

I’m too weak to try to speak

I am tempted, I’m ashamed

Yeah, I’m ashamed and I’m to blame

You’ll see

Yeah I’m tempted by the cherry tree

You’ll see

Yeah I’m tempted by the cherry tree

Sweet little Cherry took the last bus home

In the middle of the pouring rain

She saw the bad boys sleeping and the good girls weeping

Through the fog on the window panes

And Cherry wants to make it right

But she never has a prayer

Cuz as long as there are bad boys

They’ll be penny millionaires
