(ronna reeves/jimmy grubbs)
She wakes up every morning
and drags a brush through her hair
has a strong cup of coffee
she ain't got much to wear
she punches in at 7 a.m.
and works a 10 hour shift
she's livin' a hard life
she's still got a lot to give
She ain't got a whole lot of money
that ain't stopped her yet
this girls got hopes and dreams
she's not through livin' yet
she's gonna go far and she's not in a hurry
she's workin' on a one way ticket
to anywhere
Everybody's so settled down
just live day to day
well billy wants to marry her
she don't know what to say
there's nothing wrong with a small town
some folks never leave
but this girls got a wild heart
tryin' to get free
She ain't got a whole lot of money
that ain't stopped her yet
this girls got hopes and dreams
she's not through livin' yet
she's gonna go far and she's not in a hurry
she's workin' on a one way ticket
to anywhere
She could take billy's offer
and have a couple of kids
she could stay at the factory
yeah... just like her momma did
But this girl's different
she's gotta go her own way
she might be a little foolish
she's goin' for it anyway
She ain't got a whole lot of money
that ain't stopped her yet
this girls got hopes and dreams
she's not through livin' yet
she's gonna go far and she's not in a hurry
she's workin' on a one way ticket
to anywhere
She's gotta go her own way
this girl's different
