I can ride home in the evening, Staring at my hands Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl Ought to stand a better chance So may I work the mills Just as long as I am able And never meet the man whose Name is on the label It be me and my machine For the rest of the morning For the rest of the afternoon And the rest of my life Related Lyrics Random lyrics: I Will Dream, Jupiter Rising, Little Bird, Lost Unto This World, O Evangeline, Plaisir dAmour, Strong Hand (Just One Miracle), Bang the Drum Slowly, Boy from Tupelo, Hour of Gold, I Dont Wanna Talk About It Now, Jai fait tout, One Big Love, Red Dirt Girl, The Pearl, Cajun Born, Wheels, LaCassine Special, Hank And Lefty, Another Pot OTea, Colors Of Your Heart, Drivin Wheel, I Had My Heart Set on You, Pledging My Love, Rhythm Guitar, Someone Like You, Tennessee Rose, Timberline, Today I Started Loving You Again, Wheels of Love, Orphan Girl, Angel Eyes, The First Noel, Ill Be Your San Antone Rose, Satans Jewel Crown, Baby Better Start Turnin Em Down, Good News, Its Only Rock N Roll, Like An Old Fashioned Waltz, On The Radio, Bad News, Ballad of Sally Rose, Diamond in My Crown, Heart to Heart, Long Tall Sally Rose, Sweetheart of the Rodeo, White Line, (Lost His Love) On Our Last Date, All My Tears (Be Washed Away), Blackhawk, Other Harris Emmylou song Lyrics BALLAD OF A RUNAWAY HORSE Album Cowgirls Prayer 19 Lyrics Beneath Still Waters Lyrics BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU Album Brand New Dance 1990 Lyrics Beyond The Blue Ft.
