Oh maybe I'm a poor girl
That doesn't bother me at all
Maybe I'm a poor girl
But it doesn't bother me at all
When this world comes crashing down
I know that I'll be standing tall
I used to be an angel
Now I'm just like everybody else
I used to be an angel
Now I'm just like everybody else
I left my wings in the gutter
And my halo is lost, dusty on a shelf
I know a rambling girl
She's driving me crazy and wild
I know a rambling girl

And a caffeine buzz
I got a couple of food stamps
And a caffeine buzz
So I'd be set for right now, darling
If I only knew just where she was

Don't you lose your spirit to the wind
I'd tell her, hold tight, honey
Don't you lose your spirit to the wind
'Cause I know you and I know you'll be a long-time rambling
Before you see your rest again
Oh maybe I'm a poor girl
But I don't worry about it none
Maybe I'm a poor girl
But I don't worry about it none
When this world comes crashing down
I know that I'll be standing in the sun
I'll be standing in the sun
