G               Am                F          C                 
One in a million mama that's good enough for me
    G                  Am              F            C
And you can't make me stay here anyway now that I'm 18
      G              Am                               F         C
With everything she had in a duffle bag she set out to show the world

In a cloud of dust on a Greyhound bus she crossed the Cook County line
     G               Am             F                         C
Slept all the way to Nashville,big dreams running through her mind
      G               Am            F              C
She said sure as I'm breathing I'm gonna be a big someday
       G              Am                               F               C
Yeah, she was jumping right into the deep end on a leap of sweet blind faith

It's about never not believing
                    D                     F            G
It's about taking a walk on the wire and never looking down
            Am                C 
It's about living instead of dying
            F                        G
It's about spreading your wings and flying

It's been six years since she left home and she hasn't made it big yet
         G               Am               F           C
Oh but there's no second guessing baby, she's got no regrets
    G                  Am              F            C
She still works late shift down at the Greasy Spoon Café
G               Am                           F                 C 
When she brings you out your milkshake you just might hear her say
