[Verse 1:] The corner cafe, she scrapes some quarters off the table,
Says, "Thanks, yeah, now maybe I'll be able,
To get that black Mercedes I've been savin' for." Aw
The other girls say, "You oughta undo a couple buttons,
Start showin' off a little somethin'."
She says, "Naw, you go ahead, think I'd rather stay poor.
See, I'm just makin' rent,"
She said, "This ain't where my road ends."
[Chorus:] This may not be my town,
It'll do for now,
Till I can figure out who I am, where I'm goin',
She's slingin' eggs an' bacon,
With a college education.
Just hangin' out an' waitin' for a better plan.
She's O.K. not knowin'.
She's young, an' the world's wide open.
[Verse 2:] [ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/RUzr ]There's a rusty old Ford lives out back behind the diner,
Sittin' there waitin on her to make her mind up.
It tends to sling a little gravel an' take her, who knows where.
Maybe head out west, it's in Gods hands, I guess.
[Chorus:] This may not be my town,
It'll do for now,
Till I can figure out who I am, where I'm goin',
She's slingin' eggs an' bacon,
With a college education.
Just hangin' out an' waitin' for a better plan.
She's O.K. not knowin'.
She's young, an' the world's wide open.
[Instrumental break.] [End:] She throws down that apron,
Takes the money she's been makin',
Her life's out there waitin',
Got a better plan.
That's where she's goin'. (Goin'... goin'.)
She's young an' the world's wide open.
[Instrumental to end.]
