lyrics

Dear Louise you were only eighteen,
Scared of teachers, cops and your own dreams,
Thought you had the summer off to dance,
Share the sun with friends and maybe a romance,

But six dollars thirty five an hour,
A head full of car alarms, a handful of flour,
All it takes is one well-spoken word,
And all that breaks is my sweet little girl,

And they took you for a fool,
And you let them didn’t you,

Back when the town hall bell would ring,
My front door was open, I hadn’t seen a thing,
The sweetest fruit eventually turns sour,
Middle America can wilt the strongest flour,

And they took you for a fool,
And you let them didn’t you,

And I don’t know you now,
Where are you now, my Louise,
