That house on the hill is long gone

Now she's living in a trailer with an Astroturf lawn

Got three little kids and no one to help

Trying to be Momma and 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 and the clothes off the lines

She'd break down and cry but she doesn't have time



She got to be strong, life goes on

Though it's nothin' like she had planned

She's gonna be o.k. 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

And there's a guy down at work he keeps callin' 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 and 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 into her babies' eyes



She got to be strong, life goes on

Though it's nothin' like she had planned

She's gonna be o.k. gonna find a way

Living in no man's land



She got to be strong, life goes on

Though it's nothin' like she had planned

She's gonna be o.k. gonna find a way

Living in no man's land

No man's land
