At the corner cafe, she scrapes some quarters off the table

Says thanks, yeah, now maybe I'll be able to get that black Mercedes I've been savin' for

The other girls say, "You outta undue a couple buttons, start showin' off a little somethin'"

She says, "No, you go ahead," think I'd rather stay poor

See I'm just makin' rent, she says, "This ain't where my road ends"

There's a rusty old Ford, lives out back behind the diner

Sittin' there waiting on her to make her mind up

Itchin' to sling a little gravel, take her who knows where


Am                   Dm
Maybe head out west, it's in God's hands I guess

She throws down that apron, takes some money she's been makin'
