Guy Clark
She Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere
[Verse 1]
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 can lay it down and live it like she'd please

[Chorus]
But she ain't goin' nowhere, she's just leavin'
She ain't goin' nowhere she can't breathe in
And she ain't goin' home, that's for sure

[Verse 2]
She's not sittin' down and crying on her suitcase
She has no second thoughts by the road
But she's got feelings that need some repairin'
And she did not give a damn that it showed

[Chorus]
But she ain't goin' nowhere, she's just leavin'
She ain't goin' nowhere she can't breathe in
And she ain't goin' home and that's for sure

[Pedal Steel Guitar and Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]
And the wind had its way with her hair
And the blues had their way with her smile
And she had a way of her own
Like prisoners have a way with a file
[Chorus]
She ain't goin' nowhere, she's just leavin'
She ain't goin' nowhere she can't breathe in
And she ain't goin' home, that's for sure

She ain't goin' nowhere, she's just leavin'
She ain't goin' nowhere she can't breathe in
She ain't goin' home and that's for sure
And she ain't goin' home, that's for sure
