She s driving outside Providence
She s on the outside lookin in
She s finally figured out
Just where she s going
Her momma says that she s insane
Her daddy swears a boy s to blame
She s never seen the truth
So clear before this
Chorus:
Cause there a world
Outside Providence
Somewhere to spread
Her wings and fly
She s taking chances
Life begins again
Somewhere
Outside Providence
A hula man sits on her dash
Beside a Rand McNally map
She circles places that
She s always heard of
She plans to see the Hoover Dam
And the world s biggest frying pan
Open to anyplace
Outside Rhode Island
Bridge:
Some things in life don t last
With pieces of the past
Someday she might be back
But not tomorrow
