So the corner cafe
She scrapes some quarters off the table
Says, thanks, yeah, now maybe I'll be able
To get that black Mercedes I've been savin' for
Oh, the other girls say
You outta undue a couple buttons
Start showing off a little something
She says, no you go ahead think I'd rather stay poor
See I'm just making rent
She said, this ain't where my road ends
This may not be my town
It'll do for now
Til' I can figure out
Who I am, where I'm goin
She's slingin' eggs and bacon
With a college education
Just hanging out and waitin'
For a better plan
She's okay not knowin'
She's young
And the world's wide open
There's a rusty old Ford
Lives out back behind the diner
Sitting there waitin' on her
To make her mind up
It tends to sling a little gravel
And take her who knows where
Maybe head out West
It's in Gods hands, I guess
This may not be my town
It'll do for now
Til' I can figure out
Who I am, where I'm goin
She's slingin' eggs and bacon
With a college education
Just hanging out and waitin'
For a better plan
She's okay not knowin'
She's young
And the world's wide open
She throws down that apron
Takes the money she's been makin'
Her life's out there waitin'
Got a better plan
That's where she's goin'
She's young
And the world's wide open
