Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside
Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside
Slipped out of the house not makin' a sound
Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside
And even if she fell she'd survive
This is how she has to live her life
As hard as it may be, she has to find out for herself
And even if she fell she'd survive
Oh, inspite of all the tears she may cry
Left that man who broke her heart
Rode that horse with all her heart
There's a suitcase in the closet she had packed six months ago
He said, “Without me, you won't survive”
And even if she fell she'd survive
She don't leave a note that's not her style
It was fifteen years to the day, he became a stranger in her eyes
This is how she has to live her life
Now she's gone, ohh, she's gone
In the coldest words of anger
And in the night, how she rode
Mama and Daddy told her from the start he was no good
She waited around till way after dark
So she waited around till way after dark
They'd seen how he treated the other girls
As hard as it may be, she has to find out for herself
Inspite of all the tears she may cry
She waited around till the sun went down
And in the night, oh, how they drove
Inspite of all the tears she may cry
As hard as it may be, she has to find out for herself
This is how she has to live her life
