Ritas out on the street tonight
Driving through the rain
Shes got lots of new reasons not to trust any man again
And even though shell be alright
Shell never be the same again
Shell move closer to her mama, let her daughter keep her daddys name
Sometimes youve only got one road and its a rocky ride
Sometimes there isnt time to think about the tears youve cried
Chorus:
You take it as it comes
When youve got no way to hide from the hurting inside
When theres nowhere you can really run
You take it as it comes
Ritas out on the street tonight
Midnight feels so strange
Shes got her baby in the car seat
Her sleeping face flashing as the signals change
They roll up to the corner for the seventh time
As they circle around the square
The movie crowd is spilling out across the street
Rita sits at that light and stares
And she wonders if theres any reason in the world to try
And she glances at her little girl and she remembers why
Chorus
And one foot goes in front of the other
And one day rolls into the next
Sometimes youve got to let your heart be numb
And take it as it comes
Chorus
