She asked for her mama’s bathrobe
And a pot of potato soup
She’s gonna dry out this time if it kills her
She wants the whole family in the loop
She can outsmart death like a stuntman
She’s a cat with 99 lives
She’s my heroin addict sister
And I’ve known her all my life
SHE’S MY H
EROIN ADDI

TO SEE HER 
GOAND I HA

HER HOLDIN 
ONAT THE E
ND OF THE 
SAME OLE R
OPEShe pushes a tiny needle
It’s like the devil’s 
DNAIt takes her somewhere she’s just gotta go
But can’t afford to stay
She stripped for a while in 
Connecticut
Got married at least 5 times
Every one of them men was crazy about her
So she married a couple of em twice
She’s a certified underwater welder
She can cook, clean, and crochet
She can flash a smile from her sweet weary soul
That’ll melt all your doubts away
SHE’S MY H

OPEShe’s high at the homeless shelter
When she’s had it out with my niece
She don’t notice the holes in her clothes
Or perverted 
Orlando police
I’ve been so mad 
I wanted to kill her
So worried 
I had to cry
Such crazy stories 
I can’t help but laugh
So scared of when she’s gonna die
She called outside of 
AtlantaBeen dodging them big ole trucks
Ya know she cleaned up in 
Tennessee one time before
She just needs a couple hundred bucks
And she just needs to be with us
We all say thank 
God mamaAin’t here to go through it this time
She’s in heaven telling them 
Macon County cops
Better give her baby a ride
And they got to her just in time
SHE’S MY H
