Lyrics

Her looking glass is broken
Her cigarette is smokin'
Lying in an ashtray shaped like Texas
The laundry's in a heap
Her kids are still asleep
But soon they'll be waking up
And asking for breakfast

CHORUS - She's a lonely working mother
Living on the edge
And still trying to believe
That life is still good

She's a lonely working mother
With darkness in her heart
But still clinging to the hope
That springs eternal

The radio is playing
She doesn't feel like staying
But she knows she's the only one who cares
Her husband up and left her
She hopes to find one better
Every single morning she sits and stares

Repeat Chorus

Her dresser top is strewn
With drugstore perfume
That she wears every chance
To the Sundance Saloon
She's looking for a lover
Unlike any other
One who will set her free
The working mother

Repeat Chorus
