Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro.: x 8 measures

  At the corner cafe, she scrapes some quarters off the table

Says thanks, yeah, now maybe I'll be able to get that black Mercedes I've been savin' for

  The other girls say, "You outta undue a couple buttons, start showin' off a little somethin'"

She says, "No, you go ahead," think I'd rather stay poor

  See I'm just makin' rent, she says, "This ain't where my road ends"

(Chorus)

 This may not be my town, it'll do for now

 'Til I can figure out who I am, where I'm goin'

 She's slingin' eggs and bacon with a college edu- cation

 Just hangin' out and waitin' for a better plan she's o- kay not knowin'

 She's young and the world's wide open

 Inst.: x 4 measures

  There's a rusty old Ford, lives out back behind the diner

Sittin' there waiting on her to make her mind up

Itchin' to sling a little gravel, take her who knows where

  Maybe head out west, it's in God's hands I guess

(Chorus)

 This may not be my town, it'll do for now

 'Til I can figure out who I am, where I'm goin'

 She's slingin' eggs and bacon with a college edu- cation

 Just hangin' out and waitin' for a better plan she's o- kay not knowin'

 She's young and the world's wide open

 Inst.: --- | | | | | | | |

  She throws down that apron, takes some money she's been makin'

 Her life's out there waitin', got a better plan that's where she's goin'

 She's young and the world's wide open
