Her father left her behind
She put her feet back and forth
The little girl was only nine
She grew up without support
Now she has ninety degrees to rise
And forty-five steps to climb

A moody mother to scout
Two siblings crying out loud
For ages she milked the cow
And fed the chickens around
But something's changing her core
A brand new town to explore

She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
Now she has promised and vowed
And everybody is proud

In the middle of the farm
There's nothing else she can do
Although she's cozy and warm
Her heart is gelid and blue
The books were useful so far
But now the answers are in the garb

The moon advised her to leave
Even the winds gave her a push
But so hard was the grief
That she stayed behind the bush
Until she found her love
'Cause now there's nothing above

She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
Now she has promised and vowed
And everybody is proud

I know
It's hard to get rid of that voice in your mind, girl
I know
Because everyday I've been feeling the same

Oh girl, the journey has paid the arrival
And damage has turned into years
It's easier to get to the source
'Cause the flow of the river is made of tears

She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
Now she has promised and vowed
And everybody is proud

She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
She has to get into town
Now she has promised and vowed
And everybody is proud
