Who’ll Stop Lorraine?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nI’ve known Lorraine since we were kids
\nand I’ve always been amazed
\nEvery time she went too damn far I thought
\nWho’ll stop Lorraine?<\/p>\n
I saw her hunt down Billy Jim
\nhe was doomed from that first day
\nI saw her rip his heart in two and thought,
\nWho’ll stop Lorraine?<\/p>\n
From the hotel bar to the airport lounge<\/span>
\nEveryone knows her name<\/span>
\nOver and over I ask myself,<\/span>
\nWho’ll Stop Lorraine?<\/span><\/p>\nFinally one day I’d had enough
\nI sat her down looked her in the eye
\nLorraine I love you, girl, but straighten up,
\n’cause, Lorraine, you’re wreckin’ people’s lives<\/p>\n
From the hotel bar to the airport lounge<\/span>
\nEveryone knows your name<\/span>
\nOver and over they ask themselves,<\/span>
\nWho’ll Stop Lorraine?<\/span><\/p>\nI never thought Id see a tear in her eye
\nI never thought I’d see into her soul
\nbut since that day she’s come so far
\nand God I’ve come to love her so<\/p>\n
From the hotel bar to the airport lounge<\/span>
\n Everyone knows her name<\/span>
\n Over and over they ask themselves,<\/span>
\n Whatever became of Lorraine?<\/span><\/p>\n(C)2001, TK Major<\/span><\/p>\nPS… I also have one from 1994 (that I just <\/span>now <\/span>rediscovered — I doubt I’ve read it since I wrote it) called “When Lorraine Comes”… <\/span><\/span>I strongly suspect that one won’t<\/span> make it into AYoS.

<\/a>I<\/span> wasn’t so sure this song would ever see the public light of day. First of all, it’s premised around an especially silly pun (which I’m hoping I needn’t explain). Second, until I added a new verse last night as I was recording it, I was afraid it would come off as a dark and threatening sort of thing. I was imagining having to put up another “This is not a murder ballad” kind of disclaimer…<\/p>\n
