Letra Upstairs Downtown de Toby Keith original

Route 14, Box 308
She said goodbye at the cattle guard gate
Hopin' she would find her place in the world
With her mind made up and tears in her eyes
It almost made her daddy cry
He said don't forget to call when you get there girl

Drivin' on that two lane road
Hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead
Than what she left behind

Chorus:
Movin' upstairs downtown
Life's too short to be hangin' around
She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the woods
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
She just got her phone turned on today
There's a big ol' world waitin' just outside
As she's thumbin' through the classifieds
Lookin' for work and any old job's ok

Drivin' on that cross-town freeway
Hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead
Than what she left behind

Repeat Chorus

She lost her job at the grocery store
And that old wolf came knockin' at her door
Red notice said they've turned off her telephone
There's nothing left for her to do
So she's packed up a thing or two
Loaded her car down, now she's headed home

Drivin' on that two lane road
Hoping she might find
A whole lot more waiting up ahead
Than what she left behind

Repeat Chorus
