A Place of Her Own

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 walkin' 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 and 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', wasn't askin' for gold Just a place of her own Place of her own Place of her own Carve out a space, just enough to breathe For the long nights of uncertainty Place of her own Place of her own 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 way, 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 askin' 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 Place of her own 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 askin' for gold Just a place of her own Place of her own A place of her own Carve out a space, just enough to breathe For the long nights of uncertainty Place of her own Place of her own A place of her own
