another attempt at a country song
"never turn around"
she grew up just like every girl
in a too small town and a too slow world
she was doing her best to find her way out
with dreams far away but heading nowhere fast
she hooked up with a boy and things didn't last
but he left her with one more than she was ready to care for
he gave her the slip with a baby on her hip
when he walked out of that door
as he made his way she begged him to stay
but she knew she was better off
no shotgun wedding, no ring on a finger's gonna slow that player down
any smart girl can say the best thing for me is to never turn around
while the baby grew fast momma settled down
not the man of her dreams but the best boy around
but even home sweet home couldn't slow her urge to go
so she snuck away at the first sign of light
hitch hiked into town took a greyhound ride
for the first time in her life she felt at home on the road
well she gave them the slip before she could be missed
at the first bite of cheerios
as she made her way all that he could say
was he saw it coming all along
no shotgun wedding, no ring on her finger's gonna slow that dreamer down
any smart man can see that the best thing for him is to never turn around
no shotgun wedding, no ring on a finger's gonna fix your problems now
all that i can say is the best place to be is living in the now
yeah never turn around
