She slammed down
the bonnet of that old station wagon
Two kids in the back,
she's gonna drive into the night
She said, I'll pull into
Wee
Ward to get some food and coffee
She headed east into
a brand new life
She stepped down from his tract
or at the end of the harvest
It was gonna take a bump or a crop,
it was close to do or die
Twelve bags to the acre means
it's not a failure
And in his heart he knows
that they'll get by
He says this day is mine
And no one's gonna steal its shine
I've hung in there through bad and good
And I wouldn't change it if I could
And when the road ahead seemed longer,
it just made me stronger
The day I crossed that line,
this day is mine
This day is mine
Baby, you've been running blind
Chasing things you'll never find
Might be time to bear the shame
That you're the one to blame
Might be time for letting go
Stepping out to the unknown
Dig in deep, your fears
Let the world know loud and clear
This day is mine
No one's gonna steal its shine
I've hung in there through bad and good
And I wouldn't change it if I could
When the road ahead seemed longer
It just made me stronger
Today I crossed that line
Yeah, today I'm feeling fine
This day is mine
This day is mine
She slammed down the bonnet
That old station wagon,
two kids in the back
She's gonna drive into the night
