She started out a rodeo queen
Future looked just fine
Fell in love with a boy in school
Married an assembly line
They were hunting down the American dream
Wondering where it'd gone
When they found themselves
To be fair game
Lost their home
He was laid off on a Friday night
Went out drinking with his friends
She stayed in the car with the kids all night
He never came back again
Oh what was she to do
Where was she to go
Is home really were the heart is
When the heart can't feel at home
Homeless
Her and her family
Homeless
Is this the way of living free
And her house is an abandoned car
At the side of the road
Homeless
Will she find where that road goes
Her time is now so precious
She hunts for work and food
Their clothes are torn and tattered
So her kids stay out of school
She looks for hope under every can
At the sound of the tone
Just leave a message
We'll call you back
But they know she's not at home
Homeless
Her and her family
Homeless
Is this the way of living free
And her house is an abandoned car
At the side of the road
Homeless
Will she find where that road goes
In this land of milk and honey
We share with all who need
Except the ones outside our door
The ones we cannot see
It's the proud, the true, the faithful
Left out in the cold
It's people just like you and me
At the end of the road
Homeless
Her and her family
Homeless
Is this the way of living free
And her house is an abandoned car
At the side of the road
Homeless
Will she find where that road goes
Homeless
Will she find where that road goes
