	Story Behind the Song The story of a girl who's father shoots her mom. The girl grows up to become a police officer and her father becomes a homeless bum. She inevitably meets her father later on in life and gets revenge. I have no idea where this idea came from...I just started singing it to myself and out came the words. The song was written in my house and took about 15 minutes to write. Lyrics Let me tell you ‘bout a girl I know Her name is Carli Lee or so and so She used to live down the street from me And now I know her as Officer Lee Carli was a good girl way back when Until her dad decided to kill her mom He thought that she was running around So when she went to take a bath he made her drown Carli never knew what happened then All she knew that was not to swim All Carli had was her dad Until her beat her really bad Carli was only eight or nine but still she turned out fine Carli later on saw a bum laying on the streets that she worked on She thought that she recognized the face The one that made her life a disgrace She thought that no one else would care If there was one less bum sitting there So she took her 45 and decided it was payback time Carli closed her eyes and shot once twice She never thought once it wasn’t nice She went to a bar to get a drink To spill the beans and have a think Have could he have done those things to Carli, Carli down the street I tell you all this cause now I know When I saw Carli she told me so She’s doing life inside the joint And I’m just writing from her point of view Carli has a book coming out It’s about time she let it out Carli wishes that she never had a dad And that’s why Carli’s so sad
