Upstairs Downtown

<br>Route 14, Box 308<br>She said goodbye at the cattle guard gate<br>Hopin` she would find her place in the world<br>With her mind made up and tears in her eyes<br>It almost made her daddy cry<br>He said don`t forget to call when you get there girl<br><br>Drivin` on that two lane road<br>Hoping she might find<br>A whole lot more waiting up ahead<br>Than what she left behind<br><br>Chorus:<br>Movin` upstairs downtown<br>Life`s too short to be hangin` around<br>She`s eighteen and it`s time she got out of the woods<br>She`s gettin` out while the gettin`s good<br><br>All bills paid and a room with a view<br>She`s unpacked a dish or two<br>She just got her phone turned on today<br>There`s a big ol` world waitin` just outside<br>As she`s thumbin` through the classifieds<br>Lookin` for work and any old job`s ok<br><br>Drivin` on that cross-town freeway<br>Hoping she might find<br>A whole lot more waiting up ahead<br>Than what she left behind<br><br>Repeat Chorus<br><br>She lost her job at the grocery store<br>And that old wolf came knockin` at her door<br>Red notice said they`ve turned off her telephone<br>There`s nothing left for her to do<br>So she`s packed up a thing or two<br>Loaded her car down, now she`s headed home<br><br>Drivin` on that two lane road<br>Hoping she might find<br>A whole lot more waiting up ahead<br>Than what she left behind<br><br>Repeat Chorus
