Upstairs Downtown Lyrics - Boomtown - Toby Keith

Route 14 Box 308 

She said goodbye at the cattle-guard gate 

Hoping she would find her a place in the world 

With her mind made up and tears in her eyes 

It almost made her daddy cry 

He said don't forget to call when you get there girl. 

Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find 

A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind 

Moving upstairs, downtown 

Life's too short to be hanging around 

She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood 

She's getting out while the getting's good

All bills paid and a room with a view 

She's unpacked a dish or two 

She just got her phone turned on today 

There's a big, old world waiting just outside 

As she's thumbing through the classifieds 

Looking for work and any old job's okay 

Driving on that cross-town freeway hoping she might find 

A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind 

Living upstairs, downtown 

Life's too short to be hanging around 

She's eighteen and it's time she got out of the wood 

She's getting out while the getting's good 

Then she lost her job at the grocery store 

And the wolf came knocking at the door 

The red notice said they turned off her telephone 

There's nothing left for her to do so she's packed up a thing or two 

Loaded her car down, now she's headed home

Driving on that two lane road hoping she might find 

A whole lot more waiting up ahead than what she left behind 

Living upstairs, downtown 

Life's too short to be hanging around 

She's eighteen and it's time she got back to the wood 

She's getting out while the getting's good
