Swag's Comments:  This chilling song tells the story of a young woman who has made some terrible choices in her life. She's married a scum bag and becomes pregnant at an early age and since he's always on the run, she lives a terribly lonely life... Having said all this she's able to turn to music, her favourite singers, The "four tops" to make her feel like everything in her life will be ok...for a moment. Please take a moment to read the lyrics to this beautiful track and take note of the unique sound made by a man his electric guitar! WOW!!!
