Description
My mom had me when she was 16 and unwed. She struggled with drug addiction, alcoholism, and abusive men. She was always running away from something. Now, in her older years, she's cleaned up and is rebuilding her life. She's lived a hard life, but she's become a good person.
Lyrics
She was so new with her head full of dreams. One look into her bright blue eyes and you would forget everything. She fell in love with a boy of 17. He draws her picture and she writes him poetry. She was too young to marry, but she's having his son. Sweat 16, she had to grow up so young. Everything has changed and she's afraid of what's to come. She couldn't stand to be held down so she began to run. Oh' Robin, always flying away. Don't you know you've always had a safe place to stay. She's living hard and fast burning dream after dream. She found something to take to help her forget about everything. Those you leave behind only get in your way. The times are always tough and the men are always mean. Don't let them get too close. Don't let them hold you down. Just when they start needing her, she stops coming around. When they pull too tight she'll only slip out of their hands. They all want to get to know her, but never understand. Oh' Robin, always flying away. Don't you know you've always had a safe place to stay.
