I grew up tired of small town roads
Hitched my way to the city of gold
Got a job dancing in the bars
But life was harder than I had planned
Took a little help for me to stand up
Whatever they offered, I took it all
It's morning somewhere
It's morning somewhere
It's morning somewhere down the road
Daddy came and gave me his knife
He said, "you lost your soul, don't lose your life"
I've never felt more alone
But when that man pulled a gun
I did the only thing I could have done
And cried my way back home
It's morning somewhere
It's morning somewhere
It's morning somewhere down the road
Mama came and got me clean
I couldn't tell her what I'd seen
Don't know if it was fear or it was pride
But when the officer came around
I was sure that I'd been found
And told him what I done that night
It's morning somewhere
It's morning somewhere
It's morning somewhere down the road
I do believe
Now I spend my days at the sewing machine
In the women's penitentiary
Stitching shirts I'll never buy
They say I killed a man but he wasn't the one
That hit me that night, I tried to tell them
But girls like me, we're always liars
It's morning somewhere
It's morning somewhere
It's morning somewhere down the road
I grew up tired of small town roads
Now I do my best not to feel too old
Hope God sees me through these bars
I'm just 19, I'll be 64
Before I walk out these prison doors
Still, I got a little hope stuck to my heart
That it's morning somewhere
It's morning somewhere
It's morning somewhere down the road
It's morning somewhere
It's morning somewhere
It's morning somewhere down the road
