She was working tables at the Space Age Lodge
Down in Gila Bend
One day she just lost it man
Cashed her tips and turned her apron in
She said hey man is that your car
Are you headed for Phoenix or are you headed for Mars
Show me the road baby I'll show you the stars
She ain't pretty
But she knows how to walk right
And while your standing in the shadows
She's out there chasing the sun
Yeah you wake up in a motel six
Pushing out the poison in your veins
The sun goes down in Texas
And the lights are going up in Galveston
She says hey man is that your rose
Hey would you look at the way she glows
Show me the world baby I'll show you everything I know
She ain't pretty
But she knows how to walk right
And while your standing in the shadows
She's out there chasing the sun
Well the men in bars are gonna fight freak shows
It goes all night
And that girl over in the corner now she smiles now but she sure laughs a lot
Said I gotta get home soon
I bet that you do too
It really doesn't matter cause I'm leaving here real soon anyway
She ain't pretty
But she knows how to walk right
And while your standing in the shadows
She's out there chasing the sun
She ain't pretty
But she knows how to walk right
And while your standing in the shadows
She's out there chasing the sun
Yeah she ain't pretty
