Standin' on the gone side of leavin'
She found a thumb and stuck it in the breeze
She'll take anything that's going close to somewhere
She lay it down and live it like she'd please

She ain't going nowhere, she's just leaving
She ain't going nowhere she can't breathe in
And she ain't going home, that's for sure

She's not sittin' down and crying' on her suitcase
She had no second thoughts by the road
She's got feelings that need some repairing
She did not give a damn that it showed

She ain't going nowhere, she's just leaving
She ain't going nowhere she can't breathe in
And she ain't going home, that's for sure

And the wind had a way with her hair
The blues have a way with her smile
She had a way of her own
Like prisoners have a way with a file

She ain't going nowhere, she's just leaving
She ain't going nowhere she can't breathe in
And she ain't going home, that's for sure

She ain't going nowhere, she's just leaving
She ain't going nowhere she can't breathe in
And she ain't going home, that's for sure
