Upstairs Downtown

Route 14, Box 308She said, "Goodbye at the cattle guard gate"

Hoping she would find her a place in the world

With her mind made up and tears in her eyes

It almost made her daddy cry

He said, "Don't forget to call when you get there girl"Driving on that two lane road

Hoping she might find

A whole lot more waiting up

Ahead than what she left behindMoving upstairs, downtown

Life's too short to be hanging around

She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood

She's getting out while the getting's goodAll bills paid and a room with a view

She's unpacked a dish or two

She just got her phone turned on today

There's a big, old world waiting just outside

As she's thumbing through the classifieds

Looking for work and any old job's okayDriving on that cross town freeway

Hoping she might find

A whole lot more waiting up

Ahead than what she left behindLiving upstairs, downtown

Life's too short to be hanging around

She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood

She's getting out while the getting's goodThen she lost her job at the grocery store

And the wolf came knocking at the door

The red notice said, they turned off her telephone

There's nothing left for her to do

So she's packed up a thing or two

Loaded her car down, now she's headed homeDriving on that two lane road

Hoping she might find

A whole lot more waiting up

Ahead than what she left behindLiving upstairs, downtown

Life's too short to be hanging around

She's eighteen and it's time she got back to the wood

She's getting out while the getting's good
