She puts on her work clothes fishnet panty hose

She's got a nickname that everyone knows at the Gentlemen's club

She clocks in at midnight even though it never feels right

Makes her money one dollar at a time.

Without the makeup nobody knows her name

She wears the pain

Black tears rollin down from the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town

She reveals they all cheer then she cry's

Black tears

Jealous of the innocent sometimes she's convinced

The boss man is still a friend she needs.

She's tried everything cheap sex and cocaine

Anything to hide the pain for a little while

Wrong kind of famous in her momma's eyes you can tell she knows it when she cries

Black tears rolling down from the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town

White lights on the mirrors just won't hide

Black tears

She tries and tries so hard to get away

But everybody's watching

Black tears rollin down from the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town

If all the pain could just disappear she'd quit cryin shed quit cryin

Black tears
