Sunshine State - Cash in Hand Lyrics

In the darkness of the night you don't appear any different from the other girls
Is it a relic from your past, or just a high that didn't last?

I'm sure the truth is just as vague to you as any story I could write
You're probably running from your father, running from your mind
Some with no conscience won't give a shit tonight

I imagine days not long ago already on the way to where you are
And any chance that might have been I'm sure was brushed away
With the back of your daddy's hand

Is cash in hand worth the dignity you've lost?
Is there an option either way?
And is your birthday just a memory of who you used to be?
Or is it lost in the life you live today?

I know this is not the town where you grew up, and there's no place you call home
Daddy's girl ain't wearing white or going home to anyone
But an '82 Ford Escort and a cigarette tonight

Cash in hand

If there was something I could do or say to put a smile on your face I would
Watch you lay there in the shade, your red dress show some pain
There ain't nothing I could say to do you any good

Cash in hand
