TRYING TO SURVIVE Everyone else is laughing, dancing and having fun Telling old time stories, but this girl's on the run Trying to survive, just trying to survive Everyone else is wishing two o'clock will not arrive But she can't wait and she just hopes her legs can get her by Trying to survive, just trying to survive I've seen a little bit of society And don't like what I think I see When a thankless job in an old saloon Is the best that a woman like her can do Just trying to survive She goes home with a backache and works on Friday night Falls asleep with a coffee cup, underneath the front room light Trying to survive, just trying to survive She puts up with the cussing and the drunk and lusty lines The hands that come from nowhere to grab her from behind Trying to survive, just trying to survive You don't think that she's a lady, You don't think she feels the pain I've been here 'round closing time And I've seen those bright eyes cry like rain Just trying to survive And across the endless prairie in another town like this Another darkened honky tonk and another little miss Just trying to survive, trying to survive Trying to survive, trying to survive, just trying to get by
