What's a Poor Girl to Do?

What’s a dollar without a dream
or a dream without a dollar
or a dream with a dollar
or just a poor blue collar.
None of it makes sense
but to my intent
I’ma save this dollar
and hope it turns to three
so I can have something to eat
and a little for the family

just by writing on trees
and painting those trees
where I took a seat
when my legs got too tired.
How long will it be before I reach higher?
Been climin’ for eighteen years,
might be short
but I swear I’ve cried a million tears.

What’s a poor girl to do
with just a clue and a plan
but can’t reach nothin’
because she doesn’t have a dollar
in her hand?
