D              A   Bm             A          G            A 
 Route 14, Box 308,  she said goodbye at the cattle-guard gate, 
G                 A                       D       A 
 Hopin' she would find her a place in the world 
          D                A                  
 With her mind made up and tears in her eyes,   
Bm          A        G         A  
 she almost made her daddy cry 
           G               A                       D 
 he said, 'Don't forget to call when you get there girl.' 
 
PRE-CHORUS: 
Bm                           G                D     
 Drivin' on that 2-lane road hopin' she might find 
Bm                                      G             A       
 A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind 
 
CHORUS: 
         D  A       G    A     D          A           G         A 
 Moving' up-stairs, down-town, life's too short to be hanging a-round 
D       A          G            A          Bm    A 
 She's 18 and it's time she got out of the woods 
G                  A7                        D A G A 
 She's gettin' out while the gettin's good

 All bills paid and a room with a view,  she's unpacked a dish or two 
G                 A               D     A 
 She just got her phone turned on today 
           D                     A              
 There's a big ol' world waitin' just outside  
    Bm             A           G    
 as  she's thumbin through the classifides, 
G                    A             D 
 lookin' for work at any old job's okay 
 
 
PRE-CHORUS: 
 
Bm                                   G                D          
 Drivin' on that cross-town freeway, hopin' she might find 
Bm                                      G             A 
 A whole lot more waitin' up ahead than what she left behind   
 
CHORUS: 
         D  A       G    A     D          A           G         A

VERSE: 
 
         D                   A                 
 And she lost her job at the grocery store  
         Bm         A               G     A 
 and the  wolf came knocking at the door 
G                     A              D       
 red notice said they turned off her telephone 
D                         A            Bm            A            G  
 There's nothing left for her to do so  she's packed up a thing or two, 
G                   A                D     
Loaded her car down now she's headed home 
 
PRE-CHORUS: 
 
Bm                           G                D     
 Drivin' on that 2-lane road hopin' she might find 
Bm                                      G             A 
 A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind

         D  A       G    A     D          A           G         A 
 Moving' up-stairs, down-town, life's too short to be hanging a-round 
D       A          G            A          Bm    A 
 She's 18 and it's time she got back to the woods 
G                  A7                        D  A  G  A   D -FADE 
 She's gettin' out while the gettin's good
