That house on the hill is long gone Now she's living in a trailer with an Astroturf lawn Got three little kids and no one to help Trying to be Momma and Daddy all by herself It's hard to hold down the fort when you're holdin' down a job She'd rob Peter to pay Paul but he's already been robbed She gets the food on the table and the clothes off the lines She'd break down and cry but she doesn't have time
She got to be strong, life goes on Though it's nothin' like she had planned She's gonna be o.k. gonna find a way Living in no man's land
Every now and then late at night She thinks of how it would feel to hold someone tight And there's a guy down at work he keeps callin' her up But she ain't ready for none of that stuff She's still sifting through the ashes of a love that's been and gone Looking for a clue, trying to find out what went wrong It ain't always easy, but she knows she's gotta try Every time she looks into her babies' eyes
She got to be strong, life goes on Though it's nothin' like she had planned She's gonna be o.k. gonna find a way Living in no man's land
She got to be strong, life goes on Though it's nothin' like she had planned She's gonna be o.k. gonna find a way Living in no man's land No man's land
