Black Tears

[Verse 1]

She puts on her work clothes, fishnet panty hose

She’s got a nickname everybody 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 lines 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, she'd quit crying

Black tears
