I knew a girl who lived somewhere Other than nowhere But not at home Singing her songs in the night air Lookin' for somewhere To call her own The road is no place for a woman Her travelin' has made that quite plain The road is no place for a lady She's got to have a fire burning somewhere sane The neon lights flash by her window Listen to the wind blow To another town Oceans inside but the tide's low If you go too slow Then you may drown The road is no place for a woman Her travelin' has made that quite plain The road is no place for a lady She's got to have a fire burning somewhere sane
