lyrics
east coast girl dreaming of the west
broken heart in her chest
eyes that shine bright like the light
she hopes to find on her own
life in a run down, low down old town
could be enough to want to get out
always the same day, same week, same year
she said "I think it's time for me to get out"
and if there's nothing left to lose, why not get lost?
packed all her stuff, gassed up the truck
said good-bye to her home town
she couldn't give a.... four or five days on the road, nights in tow
she headed straight for the Pacific Coast
her truck broke down eight hours out
she got stuck in the mountains
they swallowed her up
pulled over to the shoulder and put it in park
she must've traded four wheels for a little bit of luck?
she's an east coast girl
