A young woman in the window
Wonders what the futures got in store
She heard about the city
And it's night life's got her wanting so much more
She sees children in the street
Out there playing right up till nightfall
And as the evening sun goes down
She thinks that's what makes the world go around
She's dreaming of the good life
But all she finds is a long and winding road
Full of trials and tribulations
Conflicting information on where to go
Though the bar is unforgiving
She always hears that neon call her name
She's livin' for a honky tonk sound
The one that makes her world go around
Same woman different window
Reminiscing about those simple times
She's drinking to remember
And dancing to forget what's on her mind
The children in the street
Are all grown up playing those same games
While they run right through this town
Just a little bit further down
Cause that's what makes the world go around
That's what makes the world go around
