When I was a little girl I felt so alone Quiet country house that I had to call home Living with a couple of foulks, rich millionaires Sat on their money Lord it seemed they didn't care
Finally we moved to our own place Where I could walk around with a smile on my face And I knew in order to make a stand I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land
I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you want to go there I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you want to go there
Came to a school in the big city Looked around at the lights and I thought they were pretty They told me and teached me to live by their rules So I wouldn't be nobody's fool
I found out, not too long Their rules wouldn't let me sing my song I know in order to make a stand I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land
