Lyric Woman Of The World

(Lari White/Chuck Jones)

She s worked her way from Paris, Texas to Moscow, Alabam
Tended bars and tended babies from Rome to Bethlehem
She s been the checkout queen of Abilene
And busted flat somewhere bewteen
The pieces of her broken dreams
She s got scars on her heart and dirt on her hands

But like the stars on the water she was made to rise above
And she s done a lot of living just to find a little love
She won t be your mama, she won t be your little girl
She belongs to the road she s on, she s a woman of the world
She belongs to the road she s on, she s a woman of the world

Born and raised in South Dakota
She s never crossed the county line
With three young kids and a full-time job
She just never finds the time
The days are short and the nights are long
Since he left her all alone
But she s learned to make it on her own
It s a hard way to go, but she s gonna shine

Like the stars on the water she was made to rise above
And she does a lot of living just to find a little love
And she s somebody s mama, and she s someone s little girl
But she belongs to the road she s on, she s a woman of the world
She belongs to the road she s on, she s a woman of the world
