lyrics

Verse 1
From the moment she knew she had nothing to lose
She escaped the tragedies of her family truths
Called the black sheep as long as she can remember
Born second to nine in the blood line
Mr. John on the radio had it right
Yeah someone’s gonna save, someone’s gonna save
Her life tonight

Chorus 1
Now she’s hitting the road with her guitar in tow
Looking for god and all of the unknown
Got a one way ticket headed straight for Seattle
And if rock n’ roll don’t save her soul
Uncle Sam is gonna put her on a payroll
Well anything is better than the life she had in Chicago
Trading time to find out why she born without wings to fly

Verse 2
There’s freedom ahead, but she works instead
Choosing jesus and the virtues of his daily
Pleasing mama who forgot all about her
So she looked for a man who could understand
All the hard times of living without a helping hand
Now she’s hoping for lovin’ but he’s broken

Chorus 2
She’s still on the road with a child in tow
Looking for god and all of the unknown
Got a one way ticket headed straight for the chapel
And if rock n’ roll won’t save her soul
Three kids are gonna put you on a payroll
Still anything is better than the life she had in Chicago
Trading time to find out why she born without wings to fly

Verse 3
She worked to the bone just to end up alone
Yeah my daddy became another rolling stone
Chose the bottle for survival or denial
Well I see all the pain and I know it’s a shame
Cause forgiveness is harder than they really say
It’s the reason that I’m leaving this place

Chorus 3
So I’m hitting the road with my guitar in tow
Looking for god and all of the unknown
Got a one way ticket headed straight for the Seattle
And if rock n’ roll won’t save my soul
These streets is gonna me on a payroll
Yeah anything is better than the life mama had in Chicago
Trading time to find out why, trading time to find out why
I was born without wings to fly
