a star is born inside his bed,
living is her soul,
yet her brain is dead

she gives herself up
to anybody with a buck..
to pay her bills and to feed the kids..
constantly has to fuck.

just a small town girl..
early going nowhere.
she could take the whole world.
or easily give it up because she's..
early going nowhere
early going nowhere
easy as that
early going nowhere

but..hey now..she's got some potential..
she really could surprise you..
she'll shock you and she'll rock you.

when she gets old..
she can't rely..
this method will be gone..
early she will die.

just a small town girl..
early going nowhere.
she could take the whole world.
or give it up because she's..
early going nowhere
early going nowhere
easy as that
early going nowhere

so ends the story of the girl,
who ran out west to be a star..
before she had grasp of the entire world..
but she hasn't gotten very far.

from the gutter to the stars..
from the stars and back down again.
from the gutter to the stars..
stars and back down again.
early going nowhere
it's as simple as that..
she's early going nowhere.
just early going nowhere.
