She got a job at a diner in the South Slope
It's a nice place in its own way
She had to move back to Queens with her mom though
She takes the F train, it's a long way
Charlie's walking now
She knows that he'd be proud
She wakes up early in the mornin' for the F train
And she's makin' her way
She's makin' her pay in the South Slope
It's a nice place
He left a hole the size of the world
And she ain't never had nothin'
And wasn't asking for gold
Just a place of her own
A place of her own, a place of her own
Carve out a space, just enough to breathe
For the long nights of uncertainty
A place of her own
A place of her own, a place of her own
Summer's so hot and winter's so cold
On the F train to the South Slope
And most people are okay in their own way
It's a nice place, but it's a long way
He left a hole the size of the world
And she ain't never had nothin'
And wasn't asking for gold
Just a place of her own
Just a place of her own, just a place of her own
Carve out a space, just enough to breathe
For the long nights of uncertainty
A place of her own
A place of her own, a place of her own
She says, "Yeah, you leave, yeah, you go"
Where do I belong? Where do I belong?
"Yeah, you leave, yeah, you go"
Where do I belong?
She says, "Yeah, you leave, yeah, you go"
Where do I belong? Where do I belong?
"Yeah, you leave, yeah, you go"
Where do I belong? Where do I belong?
He left a hole the size of the world
And she ain't never had nothin'
And wasn't asking for gold
Just a place of her own
A place of her own, a place of her own
Carve out a space, just enough to breathe
For the long nights of uncertainty
A place of her own
A place of her own, a place of her own
