Lyrics

One Mile At A Time

She droved her beat-up Chevy all the way from Georgia
Lookin' for the city lights
And if you saw her you'd adore her
She is quite a beautiful sight

She left her boyfriend back in Macon
He never said anything nice
And when it came to leavin' Mama and Papa
She never even had to think twice

And she's takin' her life back
She's layin' it all on the line
And she's drivin' her life back
One mile at a time
She packed her bags and hit the road
When he left her home alone again
She never felt this free before
And if she did she can't remember when

She filled her tank up yesterday
When she knew what she was gonna do
Life's too short to waste away
She's lookin' for something new

And she's takin' her life back
She's layin' it all on the line
And she's drivin' her life back
One mile at a time

Oh-Oh-Oh, she's got nowhere to go
So she's leavin' home
Takin' her life in her own hands
And goin' it alone (I'm outta here!)

She's got her foot to the floor and the radio blastin'
Cool breeze in her hair
She sees her old life through her rear view mirror
She had to get out of there

Find a place to call her own
Never had one of those
Get a job that let's her out at night
Paint red polish on her toes

And she's takin' her life back
She's layin' it all on the line
And she's drivin' her life back
One mile at a time

Oh-Oh-Oh, she's got nowhere to go so
She's leavin' home
Takin' her life in her own hands
And goin' it alone

She's drivin' her life back
She's drivin' her life back
One mile at a time
One mile at a time
