There's a woman on the road She got mouths to feed Her man died last year Now she works to the bone There's a woman on the road She got floors to clean Her sorrow is deep And her freedom gone It's a two-dollar day, two-dollar day And she can't get home It's a two-dollar day, two-dollar day And she can't get home There's a woman on the road She got tears to cry She holds on to her God To understand the greed There's a woman on the road She got dreams to live Her days are numbered And sometimes it's better to sleep It's a two-dollar day, two-dollar day And she can't get home It's a two-dollar day, two-dollar day And she can't get home There's a woman on the road Broken heart and madam's clothes Look away if you dare She'll still be standing there It's a two-dollar day, two-dollar day And she can't get home It's a two-dollar day, two-dollar day And she can't get home She's going home Get her home She's going home Get her home
