Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro.: x 8 measures
At the corner cafe, she scrapes some quarters off the table
Says thanks, yeah, now maybe I'll be able to get that black Mercedes I've been savin' for
The other girls say, "You outta undue a couple buttons, start showin' off a little somethin'"
She says, "No, you go ahead," think I'd rather stay poor
See I'm just makin' rent, she says, "This ain't where my road ends"
(Chorus)
This may not be my town, it'll do for now
'Til I can figure out who I am, where I'm goin'
She's slingin' eggs and bacon with a college edu- cation
Just hangin' out and waitin' for a better plan she's o- kay not knowin'
She's young and the world's wide open
Inst.: x 4 measures
There's a rusty old Ford, lives out back behind the diner
Sittin' there waiting on her to make her mind up
Itchin' to sling a little gravel, take her who knows where
Maybe head out west, it's in God's hands I guess
(Chorus)
This may not be my town, it'll do for now
'Til I can figure out who I am, where I'm goin'
She's slingin' eggs and bacon with a college edu- cation
Just hangin' out and waitin' for a better plan she's o- kay not knowin'
She's young and the world's wide open

She throws down that apron, takes some money she's been makin'
Her life's out there waitin', got a better plan that's where she's goin'
She's young and the world's wide open
