DESCRIPTION:
"Sheila" by Yenrav's Karma. Here is an unplugged acoustic demo of a song I wrote about this girl named Sheila who is an abused but strong woman and comes into her own after running through some bad stuff. Sheila doesn't take s#it. No woman should. Of course Shelia's way of dealing with it might be a bit extreme, but whose to say, really.

Sheila ran away
From a bad man
He hit her everyday
She didn't understand
Then one night
He came home really late
Went to hit on Sheila
And she blew him away

Don't lay hands on no pretty maid
Sheila's got a gun
You'll never take it away

She blew into town
On a Tuesday
Got a cheap room
Where she could stay
Trying to hang low
Trying to get high
Just be left alone
Just to get by

She went...
Wah, Wah-wah
Wah, Wah-wah

Called the pizza man
He wouldn't take her pay
He took one look at Sheila
Thought he'd get a quick lay
He grabbed her by the throat
And he threw her on the ground
It was Saturday
Before his body was found

Don't lay hands on no pretty maid
Sheila's got a gun
You won't take it away

She headed down to Gainesville
Tried to start a new life
Met a Gator fan
And he made her his wife
Everything was groovy
Everything was fine
Til she caught him messin' 'round
With a cheerleader type
Well he told she was cold
And then slapped her on the face
Cheerleader and Gator man
Never found to this day

Don't lay hands on no pretty maid
Sheila's got a gun
She's still out there today
