Lyrics
Well she got herself a shovel
Cuz she can't afford the fare
And she dug a hole to China
Till she finally wound up there
She's got a dollar thirty
And her clothes are real dirty
She'll turn a trick or two
And she'll be lookin' brand new
Nobody told her that it's cold out there
Livin' in the streets of L.A.
She tried to make some honest dough
But nobody pays her
She left her job uptown
To be a Hollywood grazer
Nobody seems to care
Oh baby don't you know that it's burnin'
While the whole damn world is turnin'
Oh my baby, yeah my baby she's learnin'
While the whole damn world is turnin'
Oh, don't you know that she's learnin'
Ah, yeah!
Oh don't you know that heaven is burnin'
While the whole damn world is turnin'
She knows what she wants
She knows what she needs
And she don't give a damn
She's a long, long way from home
From home
Every day that passes
She cashes in and dances
A Shanghai slinger
With dreams of bein' a singer
A Hong Kong looker
A potential hooker
She don't need no thrill
She's got to pay the bills
Nobody told her that it's cold out there
Livin' in the streets of L.A.
Talkin' 'bout a Chi-town lady
Her future days are shady
A wink and a smile
Will get her by a while
Nobody seems to care
Oh baby don't you know that it's burnin'
While the whole damn world is turnin'
Oh my baby, yeah my baby she's learnin'
While the whole damn world is turnin'
Oh, don't you know that she's learnin'
Oh yeah!
Oh can't cha see that heaven is burnin'
While the whole damn world is turnin'
She knows what she wants
And she knows what she needs
And she don't give a damn
She's a long, long way from home
From home
From home
She's such a, such a long way
Oh so young and pretty
Ahh, she likes the city
Oh it's such a pity
Yeah she's such a long way
Oh
Oh
Oh
Ahh
Oh yeah!
Yow!
Yow!
Yow!
Oh no, no don't you know
Long from home
She's such a, such a long way
Long way from home
She's such a long, long way
Such a long way
You know she long, long way
Long, long way
She's such a long, long way
Long, long way
She's such a long, long way
Long, long way
