Lyrics

[Verse 1] At the corner café… 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 'head, 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, but it'll do for now 'Til I can figure out who I am and where I'm goin' She's slingin' eggs and bacon, with a college education Just hangin' out and waitin' for a better plan, she's ok not knowin' She's young, and the world's wide open [Verse 2] There's a rusty old ford Lives out back behind the diner Sittin' there waitin' on her To make her mind up Itchin' to sling a little gravel Take her who know where Maybe head out west It's in God's hands I guess [Chorus] This may not be my town, but it'll do for now 'Til I can figure out who I am and where I'm goin' She's slingin' eggs and bacon, with a college education Just hangin' out and waitin' for a better plan, she's ok not knowin' She's young, and the world's wide open [Outro] 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, and the world's wide open
