she’s gone to the states
with plans to celebrate
finally being happy
with friends at her side
like the turn of a tide
things are getting better
the year has been tough
getting her hands rough
trying to make it work
always too strong to ask
for help with a task
used to going it alone
a new city to reside
no need to ever hide
from the past
it seems like a dream
but it’s as real as can be
plan on sticking around
when she gets back
from playing blackjack
i’ll take her out on the town
