(piano intro)

Goodbye, Vicki Lee
though I never knew you at all.
You searched for grace, but found it not
on the walls and floors you crawled.

Found strange ways to get work
but went and proved you had a brain.
Hugh Hefner was not the sole old man
who let you latch onto his name.

And it seems to me that in your life
couldn't handle all the wind
never knowing what you'd cling to
when the rain set in.

And I would've liked to have known you.
I guess it's just as well.
You must be up in heaven now
'cause we saw you go through hell.

Marilyn was tough.
The famous role you tried to play.
You turned yourself into a superstar
but an awful price you'd pay.

Even when you died
whoa, the press remained so crude.
All the papers had to say
was, "Who's the baby's dad, which dude?"

And it seems to me that in your life
couldn't handle all the wind
never knowing what you'd cling to
when the rain set in.

And I would've liked to have known you.
I guess it's just as well.
You must be up in heaven now
'cause we saw you go through hell.

Goodbye, Vicki Lee
though I never knew you at all.
You had your times when fortunes rose
but too soon had final fall.

Goodbye, Vicki Lee
as we try to separate the truth from myth
to see you as more than "reality" star
more than Anna Nicole Smith.

And it seems to me that in your life
couldn't handle all the wind
never knowing what you'd cling to
when the rain set in.

And I would've liked to have known you.
I guess it's just as well.
You must be up in heaven now
'cause we saw you go through hell.

You must be up in heaven now
'cause we saw you go through hell.
