Toby Keith

Route 14, Box 308, she said goodbye at the cattle-guard gate,
Hopin' she would find her a place in the world
With her mind made up and tears in her eyes, she almost made her daddy
cry, he said, "Don't forget to call when you get there girl."
Driving' on that 2-lane road hopin' she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind
Chorus:
Moving' upstairs, downtown, life's too short to be hanging a-round
She's 18 and it's time she got out of (back to) the woods
She's gettin' out while the gettin's good
All 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 ol' world waitin' just outside as she's thumbin through
the classifides, lookin' for work at any old job's okay
Drivin' on that cross-town freeway, hopin' she might find
A whole lot more waitin' up ahead than what she left behind
Chorus
Man she lost her job at the grocery store and the wolf came knocking
at the door, 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 home
Drivin' on that 2-lane road, hopin' she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind.
Chorus
Outro: D, A, G, A, D
