Outlaw Women

Verse 1

Nurse works twelve hour shifts

Grocery manager husband

He drinks and he pops pills

She cooks and she cleans up

He hits her and she hides it

She smiles and she hides him

It's all about family

A sad song, but the story's the same

Verse 2

The other girl leaps

From one bad man to the next

She's street savvy, she's a hustler

She knows how to flex

They meet at a Walmart

Two outlaw women

Their lives are different

But the story's the same

Chorus

They say, "Why don't we help each other out?"

Girl power, we know what it's about

We're gonna escape our situations

They say, "Why don't we help each other out?"

Girl power, we know what it's about

We're gonna escape our situations

Verse 3

Nurse teaches street girl

To concentrate and focus

She helps her get back in college

She helps her get her bonus

Street girl says, "It's my turn"

She hooks up nurse's husband

She introduces him to a transgender

Who beats him just like he beat her

He begs for his life

Says he'll give his wife the divorce

She signs the papers and he comes home

But she's gone and he's all alone

Chorus

They say, "Why don't we help each other out?"

Girl power, we know what it's about

We're gonna escape our situations

They say, "Why don't we help each other out?"

Girl power, we know what it's about

We're gonna escape our situations

Bridge

Two women, two lives

Two outlaw women

Their lives are different

But their story's the same

Chorus

They say, "Why don't we help each other out?"

Girl power, we know what it's about

We're gonna escape our situations

They say, "Why don't we help each other out?"

Girl power, we know what it's about

We're gonna escape our situations
