Lyrics
On Her Way
Written by Ashley Alexander & Miles Bergsma
She works a 40 hours week at a minimum wage
Busting her ass every single day
The boss man ain’t giving no raises away
So she picks up extra shifts down at Joe’s Café
Ain’t a ring on her finger or a baby on the way
But her Mama keeps praying for a wedding day
She left the man on the mountain for the sunshine state
Wishing and a hoping for a single break
You can’t find her name yet on the walk of fame
But it’s up behind the bar for winning karaoke
Ain’t got more than the band and her faith
And a guitar in the back of her chevrolet
Well she ain’t giving up til they lay her soul to rest
She can feel it in her bones the best ain’t happened yet
The road is long but it’s worth the price to pay
And as far as she’s concerned she knows she’s on her way
Well before she knew it she was filling up the clubs
And word got around and she had started a buzz
Still can’t believe it when she walks on a stage
With a crowd full of people all cheering her name
Sure feels good that she can wake up and say
Tonight I’m playing in Nashville at the Ole Opry
Well she ain’t giving up til they lay her soul to rest
She can feel it in her bones the best ain’t happened yet
The road is long but it’s worth the price to pay
And as far as she’s concerned she knows she’s on her way
Sure feels good that she can wake up and say
Tonight I’m playing in Nashville at the Ole Opry, yeah
