Sabina came form Texas with a scar across her cheek
A razor blade had cut right through it
She didn't talk about it but it was understood
That it had been done by a man she once loved
What an awful thing to do, and man, when she looked at you
There was a sadness in her eyes
It really made me wonder how someone could be so cruel
And cut so deep into someone so nice
Well Sabina... Sabina tell me how could he be so cruel?
Sabina what becomes of you?
Well Sabina she made up her mind she said, No, never again
...but where's a girl go to get away from a man like that?
She didn't have much school, she's just yer basic kinda girl
From a simple little town with a monster in the woods
Well the kids were grown, she sold the home, she wasn't comin' back
She heard about a job in the middle of a war inna kitchen in Iraq
Before she left he called to say, he said, War's no place for you, you better stay
...and I wouldn't walk away from me ...if you know what's good for you
No... she said, This is goodbye, and by the way, I hope you die...
I can't see anything bein' worse than bein' with you
Well Sabina... Sabina, tell me what else could you do?
Sabina what becomes of you?
Sabina's got an army now that treats her with respect
She brings them to a kitchen in the middle of Iraq
And the men who work for her a like a little row of ducks
That form in lines behind her
Well Sabina... Sabina, tell me what else could you do?
Sabina what becomes of you?
Sabina's in the desert now, lookin' up at the stars
She's not afraid of anything anymore not even of the bombs...
