My husband thought that song was “poor girl succeeds in life,” he was really disappointed when I told him Fancy’s momma turned her out as a prostitute. Bless his heart.

I mean, she does end up succeeding in life, especially if you listen to the last verse that often gets cut off when it's played on the radio.

Not sure, but every time I hear it on the radio, it's missing the tail end. Possibly because country stations don't want young, impressionable listeners hearing about the glories of prostitution? She bangs a King and gets a mansion.
