Three Good Reasons
Crystal Gayle

She was thirty-something when she crossed the line

Between southern Virginia and North Carolina

She was running away from a broken heart

With two sleeping children in the back of the car

The man she had promised her whole life to

Had told her that he'd found somebody new

Part of her wished she could lay down and die

But the part in charge looked him straight in the eyes

instead

And that's when she said

Chorus:

Instead I've got three good reasons to survive.

One is eight years old and one will soon be turning five.

The third one is a woman who still has her pride

That makes three good reasons to survive.

She called some friends up in Rocky Mount

Who said they'd be glad to help her out

They put her and the children in the spare bedroom

She promised she'd find her own place soon.

And she thanked 'em for their help

And said softly to herself

Repeat Chorus:

Now she's made a brand new home

Her laughter's back, her tears are gone

If you ask what made her strong

She'll just smile and say

I had three good reasons to survive

One is eight years old and one has just turned five.

The third one is a woman who never lost her pride.

That makes three good reasons to survive.

Oh I had three good reasons to survive.
