Lyrics
She comes from a little town sittin next outta nowhere
She?s been runnin since a child, never really knew no life.
Was takin in by a man, who tried to make her see the light.
But she was just never gonna settle down.
Mary struggles hard to live, day after day.
She says she can?t go on, livin this way.
With four kids in the yard, and a full time job all day.
Well Mary just needs time to get away,
And soon enough, Mary was on her way.
For she must keep rollin on
I?m sure in time, she?ll be movin along
Cause she never stays in one place too long
And that?s why I?m pourin my heart out in this song.
Well she headed out again, to begin a brand new start
Leavin behind the pieces of a broken heart
For she had to prove that she could make it on her own.
Even if it meant, losing her home sweet home
So she stopped into a bar, not too far from the city
Thinking that the quick pace of life would do her some good
But like all the other men, he just misunderstood
Well Mary just needs time to get away.
And soon enough, Mary was on her way.
For she must keep rollin on
I?m sure in time, she?ll be movin along
Cause she never stays in one place too long
And that?s why I?m pourin my heart out in this song.
rollin on
I?m sure in time, she?ll be movin along
Cause she never stays in one place too long
And that?s why I?m pourin my heart out in this song.
