John Michael Montgomery - No Man's Land

(John Scott Sherrill&Steve Seskin)

That house on the hill is long gone
Now she's livin' in a trailer with an astroturf lawn
Got three little kids and no one to help
Tryin' to be Momma and Daddy all by herself
It's hard to hold down the fort when you're holdin' down a job
She'd rob Peter to pay Paul but he's already been robbed
She gets the food on the table and the clothes off the lines
She'd break down and cry but she doesn't have time

She's gotta be strong, life goes on
Though it's nothin' like she had planned
She's gonna be OK gonna find a way Livin' in no man's land

Every now and then late at night
She thinks of how it would feel to hold someone tight
And there's a guy down at work he keeps callin' her up
But she ain't ready for none of that stuff
She's still siftin' through the ashes of a love that's been and gone
Lookin' for a clue, tryin' to find out what went wrong
It ain't always easy, but she knows she's gotta try
Every time she looks into her babies' eyes

She's gotta be strong, life goes on
Though it's nothin' like she had planned
