Rita's out on the street tonight
|
Driving through the rain
|
She's got lots of new reasons not to trust any man again
|
And even though she'll be alright
|
She'll never be the same again
|
She'll move closer to her mama, let her daughter keep her daddy's name
|
Sometimes you've only got one road and it's a rocky ride
|
Sometimes there isn't time to think about the tears you've cried
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You take it as it comes
|
When you've got no way to hide from the hurting inside
|
When there's nowhere you can really run
|
You take it as it comes
|
|
Rita's out on the street tonight
|
Midnight feels so strange
|
She's got her baby in the car seat
|
Her sleeping face flashing as the signals change
|
They roll up to the corner for the seventh time
|
As they circle around the square
|
The movie crowd is spilling out across the street
|
Rita sits at that light and stares
|
And she wonders if there's any reason in the world to try
|
And she glances at her little girl and she remembers why
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
And one foot goes in front of the other
|
And one day rolls into the next
|
Sometimes you've got to let your heart be numb
|
And take it as it comes
|
|
[Chorus]
|

Take It As It Comes
