On Her Way to Be a Woman
Little girl from Calabasas
Grown on cornbread and melasas
And the lonely times
Mother died when she was four
Father walked right out the door
And found his future waitin' in a bottle of wine
No, she wasn't beautiful
Being plain was plentiful
With smiles to give away
Growing up was hard to do
With her, hand-me-downs are what I choose
She walked by on her way to be a woman
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Alone today and yesterday
When will love come her way?
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Woman
She wasn't good as a carpenter
A hole in the roof bothered her
When the wind and rain went
So she went and called a man
That was when her love began
She walked by on her way to be a woman
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Happy today and yesterday
Love came in to stay
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Woman
They were married a year or so
He a carpenter and she would sold
Her body for their baby girl
They would wait and watch her grow
'Til the time they would know
She walked by on her way to be a woman
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Woman
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Woman
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Woman
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Grown on cornbread and melasas
And the lonely times
Mother died when she was four
Father walked right out the door
And found his future waitin' in a bottle of wine
No, she wasn't beautiful
Being plain was plentiful
With smiles to give away
Growing up was hard to do
With her, hand-me-downs are what I choose
She walked by on her way to be a woman
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Alone today and yesterday
When will love come her way?
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Woman
She wasn't good as a carpenter
A hole in the roof bothered her
When the wind and rain went
So she went and called a man
That was when her love began
She walked by on her way to be a woman
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Happy today and yesterday
Love came in to stay
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Woman
They were married a year or so
He a carpenter and she would sold
Her body for their baby girl
They would wait and watch her grow
'Til the time they would know
She walked by on her way to be a woman
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Woman
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Woman
She walked by on her way to be a woman
Woman
She walked by on her way to be a woman
