That house on the hill is long gone
Now she's living in a trailer with an astroturf lawn
Got three little kids an' no one to help
Trying to be Momma an' 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, the clothes off the line
She'd break down an' cry but she doesn't have time

She's gotta be strong
Life goes on
Tho' it's nothing like she had planned
An' she's gonna be okay
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
An' there's a guy down at work who keeps calling 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 an' 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 in her babies' eyes

She's gotta be strong
Life goes on
Tho' it's nothing like she had planned
An' she's gonna be okay
Gonna find a way
Living in no man's land
