but nobody's future is written in stone
and to get what she wants
she's gonna have to walk alone
and she will
all the way to nashville

she comes out of work some nights
stops and stares down the road
through the heat and the crickets
and the telegraph poles
out in the darkness
hank's blue highway calls
and she just stops and smiles

though it's a thousand days away
she's got the will and she'll find a way yeah
to the stage of the bluebird cafe
