(Guy Clark) She was standin' on the gone side of leavin' She found her thumb and stuck it in the breeze She'll take anything that's goin' close to somewhere else She can lay it down and live it as she please Chorus She ain't goin' nowhere She's just leavin' She ain't goin' nowhere Se can't breathe in She ain't goin' home and that's for sure She's not sittin' down and crying on her suitcase
She has no second thoughts by the road She's got feelings that need some repairin' And she did not give a damn that it showed Chorus The wind had a way with her hair And the blues had a way with her smile And she had a way of her own Like prisoners have a way with a file Chorus (Twice) She ain't goin' home that's for sure
