5 Smiles Away

Tami's just a little girl
Who loves herself and hates the world,
And everyday she takes a pill
To calm her head and keep her still,
And hoping the day is gonna come
When she don't need one.

It's only five smiles away
To the border.
The light'll shine the way.
It's only five smiles away
To be heaven's daughter,
And I hope you find the way.

Tami got a job at Redd's
To buy her food and cigarettes,
But when her kitty had to eat,
yeah that would take another feat.
Sometimes she cries in her sleep,
It's running so deep.

It's only five smiles away
To the border.
I hope you find the way.
It's only five smiles away
To be heaven's daughter,
And I hope you find the way.

In this great big world,
Can eat you up alive.
For a pretty girl
It's harder to survive.
When all the wolves,
They stalk you like you're prey.
You'd better find yourself
Or find yourself a new day.

May take a little time
To keep the paint inside the lines.
There'll always be a special leap,
A pretty smile, a friend to meet, yeah.

And when Valentine's Day didn't come,
There couldn't be one.
