She left her daddy on the fourth of July
she hitched a train and rode it far from her life
she stood straight up and wiped the tears
from her eyes
and she's never looking back, and she's never
coming back
The pain was deep but now she felt all alone
it wasn't long before the money was gone
she stood straight up and wiped the tears
from her eyes
you know she never said good-bye,
but she's gonna do or die
Hey there baby are you far from home?
what's it like to finally be alone?
Row your boat there baby down your stream
cause merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream
The day that she left was the day that she left
everything that she knew behind her
the world was a lot to explore in the pouring
rain- all alone
she's soft as a dove, she finally broke down,
wishing for love
but then she stood up, wiped the tears from her eyes
she said
"I'm never looking back, and I'm never going back"

I know someone baby, someone that loves you
and will always be there when you cry and you're
lonely
look up above baby, you'll find some love
and you'll find a friend who will be to the end
