Little Jenny's lost her soul on this cold, cold road
She was trading body parts for money but all that glitters ain't gold
Nobody cared enough to teach her right from wrong
So this life is the only life she knows
It was a hell of a ride
But all good things must end
Night after night
A new man in her bed
'Til faith decide
The darkness say she's in
Now little Jenny's crying
And nobody can help
There's only one life to live
Don't take it for granted
Things look bleak from here
It's not the way you planned it
Is there any way out for me?
I can hear you asking
Life's a gamble, gotta play the cards you're handed

Jack went to school on the road
Learned about the game and the coach
Rolling with the nine's and the o's
Tryna get that money
Dreaming 'bout the cars and the clothes
Tryna reach the top on his own
17, hardly grown
He don't need nobody (nobody)
It was a hell of a ride
But all good things must end
Night after night
The street call him begging
'Til faith decide
The doctor shakes his head
Jake's mom is crying
She knew how this would end
