VerseShe was bDorn on a farm?
Working the cGlay?

Down a loDng country road?
With nowhere to gGo?

She hopped a oDne-way train?
With a ticket to rGide?
In the thBbird class back with the oDthers?

Just hoping and pGraying?
She’d hBbave a better life than her moDther’s?ChorusIt’s a loDng loGng wDay from where we’ve bAeen?
