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
<Interlude>
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
<Interlude>
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
