Upstairs Downtown
Route fourteen

box three-o-eight
She said goodbye at

the cattle guard gate
Hopin' she would

find her place in
the world
With her mind made
up and tears in

her eyes
It almost made her

daddy cry
He said don't forget to

call When you get
there girl
Drivin' on that two
lane road
Hopin' she might find
A whole lot more

waiting up ahead
Movin'

upstairs downtown
Life's too short to be

hangin' around
She's eighteen and

it's time she got out

of the woods
She's gettin' out
While the

gettin's good
A11 bills paid and a

room with a view
There's a big 01'
world waitin'

just outside
Lookin' for work and

any old job's ok
Drivin' on that cross
town freeway
Hopin' she might find
Livin'

upstairs downtown
She's getting out

While the
gettin's good
Then she lost her job

at the grocery store
Red notice said they
turned off

her telephone
There's nothing left

for her to do
So she's packed up a

thing or two
Loaded her car down

and now she's

headed home
Drivin' on that two
lane road
Hopin' she might find
A whole lot more

waitin' up ahead
Livin'

upstairs downtown
Life's too short to be

hangin' around
She's eighteen and
it's time she got back
to the woods
She's gettin' out
While the

gettin's good
