She was eager but a bit afraid 

Like a fish she squirmed around 

She had to tell herself to try to settle down 

But as the crowd poured in 

She was overwhelmed by them 

She asked herself which one of these will win 

Scrutinizing body shapes studying every face 

Eeenie, meenie, Larry, Moe, and Curly 

She wants to get to heaven laying down 

"I now know how I'll get there 

I'll get there laying down 

I can get there laying down 

I'm gonna get there laying down 

I gotta get there laying down" 

After talking to a few 

Several hours melted by 

She was ready to just give up and be through 

She set down her empty glass 

Grabbed her purse and and straightened her dress 

Stumbling, she plowed out of that place 

On the corner right outside 

A man who's drunk, a smile that's wide 

She hooked his arm and towed him from the light 

In the morning he was gone and like the dress that she had worn 

She was still cut and laying down
