I won't stand in her way
Spread her wings and she'll fly
You know it's hard to be free
When you slave to get by

This time ain't gonna let it get me down
It ain't too late to start again,
She said she wants to be her own kinda woman now...

I don't care what she says
Ain't no love when your poor
I can't get to my bed
She won't unlock the door.

This time ain't gonna let it get me down
It ain't too late to start again,
She said she wants to be her own kinda woman now...

On my way I roll on
Wipe the dust off my shoes
Greyhound bus run til dawn
Flower child dust my blues
I ain't gonna let it get me down
It ain't too late to start again,
When she's checking' in, I'll be checking' out
I'm going to find myself another friend.
She said she wants to be her own kinda woman now...
