Homeless Lyrics

She started out a rodeo queen, future looked just fine Fell in love with a boy in school, married an assembly line They were huntin´ down the American dream, wonderin´where it´d gone When they found themselves to be fair game lost their home He was laid off on a Friday night went out drinkin´ with his friends She stayed in the car with the kids all night, he never came back again Oh what was she to do, where was she to go Is home really were the heart is when the heart can´t feel at home Homeless, her and her family Homeless, is this the way of livin' free And her house is an abandoned car at the side of the road Homeless, will she find where that road goes Her time is now so precious, she hunts for work and food Their clothes are torn and tattered, so her kids stay out of school She looks for hope under every can "at the sound of the tone Just leave a message, we'll call you back" but they know she´s not at home Homeless, her and her family Homeless, is this the way of livin' free And her house is an abandoned car at the side of the road Homeless, will she find where that road goes In this land of milk and honey we share with all who need Except the ones outside our door, the ones we cannot see It´s the proud, the true, the faithful left out in the cold It´s people just like you and me at the end of the road Homeless, her and her family Homeless, is this the way of livin' free And her house is an abandoned car at the side of the road Homeless, will she find where that road goes Homeless, will she find where that road goes Desert Rose Band - Running Curb Records 1988
