A Life
(words and music copyright 2008 by Joe C. Ells)
Without a penny to her name,
Without a hope without a prayer,
She stepped out into the rain,
To find a life somehow somewhere.

Down on Highway 49,
An old trucker saw her there,
Stopped and offered her way
To find a life somehow somewhere.

Chorus:
Without talking he could tell,
She had spent some time in hell.
Got used to walking in the rain.
She learned to come to terms with pain.
She said, "This world just aint' fair,
But I'll find a life somehow somewhere."

Verse 2
He said, "This pain you feel I know,
Cause I've been here and I've been there.
I've looked high and I've looked low,
To find a life somehow somewhere.

In all my searching far and wide,
There is an answer I can share:
You'e got to look deep down inside,
And find yourself in there somewhere.

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
At a stoplight in Champaigne,
Near the downtown city square,
She stepped out into the rain,
To find a life somehow somewhere.

Before the trucker pulled away,
He bowed his head and said a prayer:
"Good Lord, may this be the day,
She finds a life somehow somewhere."

Nice song, but it sounds a lot like She Stopped Loving Him Today, just different words.
