Song Description

Sotry of a young girl and her will to survive

Lyrics

Katie Coleman copyright 2007


She was just a young girl trying to make her way
Married to a young boy who made it hard to stay

With one child cradled in each arm she ran away that day
An only found herself alone in a broken hearted way

Then came along a young man with medals on his chest
Cut his teeth in Vietnam among the nations best

Agent Orange would twist his mind he?d often beat his breast
Scared her and that little boy and she made her way out west

Chorus
Well Katie Coleman?s a friend of mine her will is strong and free
She held on thru the hardest time her spirit hold the key

Katie Coleman would survive on her journey to the top
And she struggled thru each moment and swore she?d never stop

Then one day she said to God, I?ll never trust again
And if a mans should come along and flash a little grin

I?ll have to think about it and maybe let him in
Now my friend?s my lover and a lifelong love begins


Chorus
Well Katie Coleman?s a friend of mine her will is strong and free
She held on thru the hardest time her spirit hold the key

Katie Coleman would survive on her journey to the top
And she struggled thru each moment and swore she?d never stop
