Story Behind The Song
This is a story that I had written for my mother. We would always sit and talk about how things were in here life. The story of my father losing his job in the south and having to come to Chicago for work. Leaving his family behind and sending for my mother at a later time. Her journey along the way. The stuggles and hardship. Leaving her children behind because they couldn't afford to take all of them with her.

Lyrics
Katie?s alone
By Charles Mack
Mack 9 Publishing, BMI
Verse 1
Katie?s alone,
With 1000 miles behind her
She?s all alone
No one to turn to, she has to make it
Chorus
Katie?s alone, Katie?s alone
Katie?s alone, Katie?s alone
Verse 2
Look where you?ve been
From your eyes, I see your pain
3 children then,
You had to leave them all behind
Chorus
Katie?s alone, Katie?s alone
Katie?s alone, Katie?s alone
Bridge
I can see you?ve been there
From your eyes, I see your struggles
And when your heart cries out
I can hear it
There will be better days soon?
Solo
Verse 3
You send money home
Food and clothes for children
The money is gone
Never reaching your children?s hands
Chorus
Katie?s alone, Katie?s alone
Katie?s alone, Katie?s alone
Katie?s alone, Katie?s alone
Katie?s alone, Katie?s alone
Solo
