[D][G][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Route [A]14 Box
[Bm]308
She said [A]goodbye at
the cattle-[G]guard gate
[A]gate
[G]Hoping she would [A]find her a
place in [D]the world[A]
With [D]her mind made up and
[A]tears in [Bm]her eyes
[A]It almost made her daddy [G]cry
[A]He said don[G]'t forget to cal[A]l
when you get there girl
[D]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]
Driving on that two lane road
hop[G]ing she might [D]find
A [Bm]whole lot more waiting up ahead than
[G]what she left be[A]hind[D][A]
Moving [D]upstair[A] s, do[G]wntown[A]
[D]Life's too [A]short to be [G]hanging [A]around
[D]She's eight[A]een and it's [G]time she
got [A]out of [Bm]the woods
[G]She's getting out while
[A]the [D]getting's good
[A][D][F#m][A][G][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]All bills paid
and [A]a room with a view
[Bm]She's unpack[A]ed a dish or t[G]wo[A]
[G]She just got her [A]phone turned
on [D]today[A]
There's a [D]big old world
waiting [A]just outside
[Bm]As she's thumbing [A]through
[G]the [A]cla[G]ssifieds
Looking for work and [A]any old
job's okay
[D]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]
Driving on that cross-town freeway
freeway [G]hoping she might [D]find
[A]A who[Bm]le lot more waiting up ahead
than [G]what she left be[A]hind
Living [D]upstair[A] s, do[G]wntown
[A]Lif[D]e's too sho[A]rt to be[D]
[G]hanging [A]around
[D]She's eight[A]een and it's [G]time
she got [A]out of the woods
[Bm]She'[G]s getting out while the[A]
[D]getting's good
[F#m][D][G]

[Verse 5]
[A]
Then she [D]lost her job at the gro[A]cery store
And [Bm]the wolf [A]came knocking
at [G]the door[A]
[G]Red notice said they [A]turned off
her [D]telephone[A]
There's [D]nothing left for [A]her to do,
so [Bm]she's [A]packed up a thing [G]or [A]two
[G]Loaded her car down,
[A]now she's headed home
[D]

[Verse 6]

Driving on that two lane road
hop[G]ing she might [D]find
A [Bm]whole lot more waiting up ahead than
[G]what she left be[A]hind[D][A]
[D]Living up[A]stairs, [G]downtown
[A]Lif[D]e's too sho[A]rt to be
[G]hanging [A]around
[D]She's eight[A]een and it's time
[G]she got [A]back to the woods
[Bm]She'[A]s ge[G]tting out while
