<br>By: jimmy buffett<br><br>1971<br><br>In the shelter<br><br>In the mornin as the sun was brightly beaming<br><br>I heard her crying out, &quot;what is it all about? <br><br>I just dont know, but I cant go back home.&quot;<br><br><br><br>Lonely princess<br><br>All the days out on your own are growing empty<br><br>Nothing is going well<br><br>If you could only tell them how you feel<br><br>Theyre too real to understand<br><br><br><br>Chorus:<br><br>Too many trite expressions<br><br>Ending in forced rejections long ago<br><br>Too many innocent faces<br><br>Too many far out places somethings wrong<br><br>Let me tell you that somethings wrong<br><br>Its been that way so long, and its a shame<br><br><br><br>On the street car<br><br>To the city where she knows that she might lose it all<br><br>Riding for just a dime, takin her own sweet time<br><br>And knowing well this could be her final fall<br><br><br><br>Past the boutique<br><br>Down the alley to the river, people pass her by<br><br>Sits on the big gray rocks, takes off her boots and socks<br><br>And knowing what she will do next just starts to cry<br><br><br><br>Chorus:<br><br>Too many small suggestions<br><br>Endin in angry questions from her dad<br><br>Too many t.v. dinners<br><br>And everyone loves a winner, but she was lost<br><br>No one knows the trials she had<br><br><br><br>In the shelter<br><br>In the mornin as the sun was brightly gleaming<br><br>I heard her crying out, &quot;what is it all about? <br><br>I just dont know, but I cant go back home.&quot;<br><br><br><br>Lord, I just dont know, but I cant go back home.
