Her parents said, girl don't leave home But her heart kept cheering her on She had a real good man, steady job But the two of them just weren't in her heart
She only wanted to be close to me To give me the love she knew someday I'd need But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home
Long days, short nights when you're on the road For a pretty girl it's a heavy load And even so who'll pay your fare She said I'll make it on a wing and a prayer
She only wanted to be close to me To give me the love she knew someday I'd need But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home
She said I've on right to tell her how life should be Especially when the only one she ever cared about in life was me But she agreed to go along with my final word
As fate would have life come around My world started tumbling down I lost my family, my friends and job And set free the only one who stuck with me from the start
She only wanted to be close to me To give me the love she knew someday I'd need But I kept saying girl you're wrong, go home
