New Life Songtext

fell in love with a Cherokee boy / he was a good man but daddy said no
you won't be his wife, his wife / his wife, his wife
no new life


all of life was so hard, fingers worked to the bone
no room for dreaming, got to find a home


sharecropping since the day she was born / til a man said come to California baby
get a new life, new life / new life, new life


left her with their babies, out on the town / his other women and liquor bringing her down
is this my new life, new life? / new life, new life
new life.


all of life was so hard, fingers worked to the bone no room for dreaming, got to find a home


boarded up a greyhound bus she did / for Californio
to find a new life, new life / new life, new life
