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, the clothes off the line.
She`d break down and cry but she doesn`t have time.
(Chorus)
She`s gotta be strong,
life goes on,
though it`s nothin` like she had planned.
She`s gonna be okay,
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 who 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 waht went wrong.
It ain`t always easy, but she knows she`s gotta try
every time she looks in her babies` eyes.
(Chorus
