lyrics

Let me tell you a story
all about a lady I know,
her daddy left when she
was only five years old

Mummy died cause daddy rattled cages
In all the wrong places
poor little baby what's gonna happen to you?

Taken by the government
raised in an institution,
but turned and ran
working as a grease monkey,
chopping tops with the busted knuckle boys,

She wrote online
about her troubled time in the town
to great renown,
chopping hot rods draggin on down the line.

Her daddy he wrote stories
for the publications,
he covered murder, gangs and fraud,
killin reputations.

He dug too deep and while she was a sleep
he ran, went on the lam,
Jackson family ties ripped and torn in two

Pistons are turning in her head
Questions are burning in her head
Pistons are turning in her head
Questions are burning in her head

In the chop shop forging parts,
for a mean machine.
Shakin her hips at night,
she's a rockabilly queen.

She wrote online twin Daddy's line
about the crime,
but hated his guts
but a word can't stop the pain...or can it?
