Another day spent in the shade Well, my mind is so surprising where it goes when I lay My body needs to rest, hope that it all goes to my head down To my fingers, to my knees, to my toes I'm a hurtin' girl in this workin' world And I wonder when the day will come I do what I love I'd hang out in the water, write a lovely letter, a song, a book Some photos or a dance to go along well In the city, the people lookin' pretty I just leave my hair down and my face is so bare and I Really start to wonder did I ever want the glamour? The glitz, the fits or all my hard-earned spent? 'Cause I'm a small town girl in this big ole' world It really don't take much to please me I want a wooden house and a cliff to look out off of A fire in the evening, a page to write my feelings and Someone to hold on to Another day spent in the walls, well, four of them around me Answering all of these calls This life is to taxing, be damned if I was relaxing I really start to wonder if any of it's worth it Tired hand in this tired land And I wonder when the day will come I do what I am I'm a listener and a whistler, a builder and a fixer A lover and a wisher with a love for this world But in the city, the people always goin' They ever stop to wonder where they really are goin'? I know what I long for and I don't wanna waste my life away here Small town girl in this big ole' world It's never taken much to please me I want a wooden house, and a cliff to look out off on A fire in the evening, a song to sing my feelings and Someone to sing it to
