Won't You be True

White Trash Wendy - I Love You
Words and Music - M. St. Germain - April 2008

Our daughter Miranda, helped me get started on this. We went to visit and when I came back from the store one time, someone had parked in my spot. Our Grandson Gideon just 3 then, came running out. "Grandad, White Trash Wendy parked in your spot." It sounded so funny the way he said it. She would always come out to her car for her smoke break. We never knew the poor girls name, but Miranda got a picture of her car. If you know Miranda she's so clever and original and somewhat explicit with her terms. When we got back home 300 miles, I finished the song. It's a kind of confisticated rockabilly melody.

I want to at least get these written down before they are lost. Since I've never recorded anything. I feel like I'm running out of time, since there's over 50 at this point.

When we put ourselves in His Spot, we make a god of ourselves, and we are left to our own devices. "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

White Trash Wendy.
Always parks in My spot.
White Trash Wendy.
You used to be hot!

Now you're workin' overtime.
And you're gettin' nowhere.
Your car doesn't shine.
And you don't seem to care.

White Trash Wendy.
Where did you come from.
White Trash Wendy.
You were just havin' fun.

But it's all over now.
There's no ticket to ride.
Bad habits are cool.
Was just a big lie.

Pre - chorus:
White Trash Wendy.
Where did you go wrong?
Was it at school?
Or was it at home?
Is it really too late?
To learn a new song?

Chorus:
I don't care if you're rich or poor.
The things I've said.
Are worth so much more.
Don't you worry how it all will work.
Just take the time to put first things first.

White Trash Wendy.
You were too young to know.
What you thought was trendy.
Was just the wrong road.

Now you're just gettin' by.
There's no money to burn.
The lessons of life.
You're just startin' to learn.

White Trash Wendy.
It's too late to go home.
Yes children are spendy.
When you're all alone!

But you can make a U-turn.
You can get a new start.
You can read My Word.
And get out of the dark.

Pre - Chorus:
White Trash Wendy.
Where did you go wrong?
Was it at school?
Or was it at home?
Is it really too late?
To learn a new song?

Chorus:
I don't care where you've been.
You can build on the Rock.
You can be My friend.
Don't look back.
Hold your head up high.
Come on Wendy don't make me cry!

White Trash Wendy.
I Love you.
White Trash Wendy.
Won't you be true!
