12th and Porter
Mary was never at ease with what life had brought her When things came out this way she'd care more for the other Most of the time she would make up her mind By simply flipping a coin Holding her bets on both sides of the quarter Then feeding the cigarette machine down at 12th & Porter
Days like this made her think of her mother Nothing could make her come back she knew she shouldn't bother 'it's nuttin budda sin you don't learn how to swim Yer ma would've cared for it too, Feet up head back' her daddy had told her Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Cumberland river's just a walk down from 12th & Porter
The night was so warm she laid back to float like a daughter Of the motherly nearness in the washing of the water The river caressed her and gently undressed her She knew she would never go down If she could lay still and follow the wave that had caught her Nowadays the machine holds a sign that says; 'Slot out of order, one dollar bills only. No change. Staff 12th & Porter'
