Black Tears

[Verse 1] She puts on her work clothes, fishnet panty hose She’s got a nickname that everyone knows at the Gentlemen’s club She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right Makes her money one dollar at a time Without the makeup, nobody knows her name She wears the pain [Chorus] Black tears, rolling down, from the eyes of an angel in a sinner’s town She reveals, they all cheer, then she cry’s Black tears [Verse 2] Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she’s convinced The boss man is still a friend she needs She’s tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine Anything to hide the pain for a little while Wrong kind of famous in her momma’s eyes, you can tell she knows it when she cries [Chorus] Black tears, rolling down from the eyes of an angel in a sinner’s town White lights on the mirrors, just won’t hide Black tears [Bridge] She tries and tries so hard to get away But everybody’s watching [Chorus] Black tears, rolling down, from the eyes of an angel in a sinner’s town If all the pain could just disappear she'd quit crying, shed quit crying Black tears
