Guy Clark She Ain't Goin' Nowhere lyrics

She's standin' on the gone side of leavin'
She found a thumb and stuck it in the breeze
She'll take anything goin' close to somewhere
She can lay it down and live it like she'd please

She ain't goin' nowhere, she's just leavin'
She ain't goin' nowhere, she can't breathe in
She ain't goin' home, that's for sure

Well, the wind had it's way with her hair
And the blues had their way with her smile
Well, she had a way of her own
Just like prisoners have a way with a file

She ain't goin' nowhere, she's just leavin'
She ain't goin' nowhere, she can't breathe in
She ain't goin' home, that's for sure


She's not sitting and cryin' on her suitcase
She had no second thoughts by the road
But she's got feelin's that need some repairin'
And she did not give a damn that it showed

She ain't goin' nowhere, she's just leavin'
She ain't goin' nowhere, she can't breathe in
She ain't goin' home and that's for sure

She ain't goin' nowhere, she's just leavin'
She ain't goin' nowhere, she can't breathe in
She ain't goin' home, that's for sure

Now, she ain't goin' home, that's for sure
