She said goodbye at the cattle-guard gate
G A D A
Hoping she would find her a place in the world
D A
With her mind made up and tears in her eyes
Bm A G A
It almost made her daddy cry
G A D

Bm G D
Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find
Bm G A
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind

There's a big, old world waiting just outside

As she's thumbing through the classifieds

And she lost her job at the grocery store
Bm A G A
And the wolf came knocking at the door

Red notice said they turned off her telephone
D A Bm A G
There's nothing left for her to do so she's packed up a thing or two
G A D
Loaded her car down, now she's headed home
Bm G D
Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find
Bm G A
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind
