I love songs that tell a story. This song tells a sad story. No matter what it's horrible that she had to prostitute herself out to get herself out of proverty. I know this song isn't positive. It sorta makes her sound greedy for money. That she values herself based on money. Maybe proverty can break you in more ways than one. Self esteem should never be based on material things.
In a few ways, this song is positive. It's a song about survival and determination. It may not be the prettiest subject, but it's about strength.

Reba's video of this song does have a very positive feel. It begins with her in a taxi being driven back to the shack she grew up in, and the song begins. Reba's all done up, big red hair jewelry and a big expensive coat. As the song ends you see her driven away in that same cab and you see a sign that says, "Future site of the Fancy <forget the rest of the name> home for wayward girls," or something like that.
In concert Reba really did this song up well. A taxi cab would come up on stage and she'd get out of it hair up all wrapped in a big coat and heels. Just after the lyrics "I charmed a king, a congressman....and I ain't done bad," she throws off the coat to reveal a snug little red dress and lets her long red hair down and struts through the rest of the song. It would bring down the house.
