I had a crazy girlfriend once. Well, I knew her in passing for years. She was in her mid twenties, from a broken home (lived with her mom and brother), unemployed with an unused 1/2-assed associate degree from a local community college, no driver's license either. She was saying her mom was about to throw her out and was basically holding her under lock and key. Estranged from her dad b/c he was abusive etc. Saying she wanted to become more independent but her folks wouldn't let her. We were at this party together and as the night wore on and we got drunker and wilder, hooked up and didn't look back. I ended up taking her in and of course nothing ever improved. She couldn't keep a job, and refused to get the kind that required working on weekends. I tried to teach her to drive and she crashed my car. And what was worse, she still let her mother interfere with everything we did even though she claimed she threw her out. When I finally stood up to the mother a year later, she overdosed on pills, after which I got the ambulance to take her to the hospital to get her pumped and she was institutionalized. So, unlike the man in this song who "never escaped". I did escape! And when she was gone, everything was just as sound as it was before she had arrived.
