Lyric No Man s Land

(John Scott Sherrill/Steve Seskin)

That house on the hill is long gone
Now she s living in a trailer with an Astroturf lawn
Got three little kids and no one to help
Trying to be Momma and Daddy all by herself
It s hard to hold down the fort when you re holdin down a job
She d rob Peter to pay Paul but he s already been robbed
She gets the food on the table and the clothes off the lines
She d break down and cry but she doesn t have time

She got to be strong, life goes on
Though it s nothin like she had planned
She s gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Living in no man s land

Every now and then late at night
She thinks of how it would feel to hold someone tight
And there s a guy down at work he keeps callin her up
But she ain t ready for none of that stuff
She s still sifting through the ashes of a love that s been and gone
Looking for a clue, trying to find out what went wrong
It ain t always easy, but she knows she s gotta try
Every time she looks into her babies eyes

She got to be strong, life goes on
Though it s nothin like she had planned
She s gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Living in no man s land

She got to be strong, life goes on
Though it s nothin like she had planned
She s gonna be o.k. gonna find a way
Living in no man s land
No man s land
