Triumphant she stands
a banner in hand that reads
"Halfway Home"
Midway from pink
heading for purple
she waves from the top
of Red Hot
never better than now
Regrets are flung behind
landing dead center
on a burning bridge
Hands raised to heavens
she shouts out loud
Burn Baby, Burn!
Her pockets are empty,
she's starting out new
free from the demons
of yesterday
Walking forward,
crowds part to
let her pass...
She throws back her head
and she laughs

the only man worth your tears will never make you cry
