She pours another shot and wonders
How many men she has lain under
She thinks, I could have been so many things
Locks up the bar, walks to her car, wishes for Spring
At home her mother's on the sofa
She tells her friends it's she who's raising her granddaughter
She says, you should have known that boy'd disown
Anything resembling responsibility
Float away, float away
Why can't she just float away
Float away, float away
How she wants to float away
Her brother Robert used to tell her
Write your own life like a bestseller
He was just twenty-three that Christmas Eve
That say black ice did put him right into that tree
Float away, float away
Oh how could he float away
Float away, float away
How she wants to float away
Float away, float away
She just wants to float away
She says, I wasn't built to live like this
Life's hard enough without this shit
She lights another smoke and wonders
If maybe this will be the summer
She drops twenty pounds, goes from blonde to brown
Perhaps time's come for them to quit this fucking town
Float away, float away
How she wants to float away
Float away, float away
She just wants to float away
Float away, float away
Why can't she just float away
Float away, float away
Float away...
