Lyrics Another Free Woman - Blackie And The Rodeo Kings, Sara Watkins

Another Free Woman

She took all her money from the Northern Trust
And she ran away from the hands of a no good man
She wrote to her mama don’t you worry none
There’s a better road to heaven and I’ve got a gun
A better road to heaven and I’ve got a gun
Now every bad marriage ends it’s true
When the man’s a drunk and he’s beatin' on you
Every morning the sun comes up to stay
And another free woman gets to walk away
Another free woman gets to walk away
She’s got her eye on road and a Bible on her lap
Her fingers walkin' over a great lakes map
She woulda got clear like a bird that flew
But the law is a man and he’s waitin' on you
But the law is a man and he’s waitin' on you
Now every bad marriage ends it’s true
When the man’s a drunk and he’s beatin' on you
Every morning the sun comes up to stay
And another free woman gets to walk away
Another free woman gets to walk away
Blood red dawn in a dark night sky
And the moon lookin' down with a cold, clear eye
The truck behind her was gaining fast
So she stopped on the shoulder to let him pass
And she saw his face as the truck door slammed
There was murder in the eyes of that no good man
So she reached in her bible and pulled her gun
One shot rang and in the raising sun
