Terry Kelly - How far can a little girl fall

She lai^Dd her head on the bar Watching tiny little stars Da^Gnce around^D in front of her eyes

^BmSad stor^Aies a^Gnd pretty white lies An^Dd if not for that one indiscretion It would h^Gave been an uneventful day If ^Bmnot for that ^Asingle obsession Things ^Gwould nev^Aer have gone that way But sh^Ge had one ^Alast drink and she didn't think twice In ^Dfact she di^Gdn't think at all ^GMy, my,^A How far ^Dcan a little girl fall?

They w^Dalked out of the bar She climbed into his car An^Gd they dr^Dove to somewhere deep in the night Wher^De she slipped off her ring

An^Bmd he switch^Aed of^Gf the tiny dome light She fell back ^Ain his arms without the slightest alarm Forge^Dtting every^Gthing her mama once said And ^Bmjust for a mo^Ament in the back of her mind A ^Gtiny pictur^Ae come and went in her head Oh ^Gshe rem^Aembered a man who was waiting at home And a ^Dbaby barely l^Gearning to crawl ^GMy, my, How ^Afar can a^D little girl fall?

^BmAt six f^Aifteen the baby woke up at home An^Gd the c^Drying shook her daddy awake At a ^Bmquarter t^Ao seven he made the decision He ^Gthought he'd ^Anever ^Bhave to make

Then^E at eight forty-five that girl came back to life In the ^Aback seat^E of a fancy car To a ^Eworld of disgrace and a smile on the face Of^C#m some str^Bange^Ar from a downtown bar At ^Anine o'cloc^Bk she put the key in the lock Ju^Est a li^Attle too late to explain But she^C#m took one mi^Bnute more before she opened the door She^A went^B over her story again Wel^Al the child ^Band the man were both long long gone An^Ed the not^Ae said "Goodbye" and that's all ^AMy, my,^B How far ^Ecan a little girl fall? Oh-O-^AO-Oh M^By, my, Ho^Ew far can a little girl fall?
