Well women ain't supposed to ramble,
And women ain't supposed to drink,
Why would I want stay home all night,
Washing dishes in the kitchen sink,
And it's been a low down time,
But it's been an uphill climb,
Now I can't stand still,
No I never will.
But my Papa said I gotta get married,
My Mama told me settle down,
But I bought me a ticket on a big jet plane, I wanna fly straight out of town,
And honey but don't you know,
I still got a long way to go,
Because I can't stand still,
No I never will.
And when I get to the big old city,
Ain't gonna be no in between,
Because I swear some day I'm gonna make some case,
And get my picture in a magazine,
And it's been a low down time,
But it's been an uphill climb,
Now I can't stand still,
No I never will.
I got tell my little sisters,
Not to do the way I do,
Because the pills won't help take away the pain,
Like the whiskey and the cocaine do,
And it's been a low down time,
But it's been an uphill climb,
And now I can't stand still,
No I never will.
I'm gonna get me a big white stallion,
I'm gonna find me a traveling man,
I'm gonna buy him some boots and a 3 piece suit,
And then he'll take me to the promised land,
And honey but don't you know,
I still got a long way to go,
Because I can't stand still,
No I never will.
I said I can't stand still noooo,
No I never will.
