 Uncle Slim had let her know she couldn't ride that horse
He was the one that was only meant for men
She waited around till way after dark
Rode that horse with all her heart
And in the night how she rode
Somehow she always knew
she had the strength inside
And even if she fell she'd survive
In spite of all the tears she may cry
This is how she has to live her life
As hard as it may be,
she has to find out for herself
Mama and daddy told her from the start he was no good
They'd seen how he treated the other girls
She waited around till the sun went down
Slipped out of the house without makin' a sound
And in the night oh how they drove
Somehow she always knew
she had the strength inside
And even if she fell she'd survive
In spite of all the tears she may cry
This is how she has to live her life
As hard as it may be,
she has to find out for herself
It was fifteen years to the day
he became a stranger in her eyes
In the coldest words of anger
He said without me you won't survive
There's a suitcase in the closet she had packed six months ago
She don't leave a note that's not her style
So she waited around till way after dark
Left that man who broke her heart
Now she's gone, oh she's gone
Somehow she always knew
she had the strength inside
And even if she fell she'd survive
In spite of all the tears she may cry
This is how she has to live her life
As hard as it may be,
she has to find out for herself
Oh, she has to find out for herself
