Lyrics: Nanci Griffith. Blue Roses From The Moons. She Ain't Goin' Nowhere.

(By Guy Clark)

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

[Chorus:]
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's not sittin' down and crying on her suitcase
She has no second thoughts by the road
She's got feelings that need some repairin'
And she did not give a damn that it showed

[Chorus]

The wind had a way with her hair
And the blues had a way with her smile
And she had a way of her own
Like prisoners have a way with a file

[Chorus 2x]

She ain't goin' home... that's for sure
