hey sarah

not many a woman i've known

took their first trip and hopped a train

learned not to be scared when you've gotta jump off again

well she did not fall and bust her knee

if she had she would of smiled you see

i believe she dusted off and walked on home

i believe she dusted off and walked on home

hey sarah are you healing up

i know you will pass growing up

your roots are so deep in the hills

hey sarah it's time you traveled some

forget those boys and roll along

sort it all out along the way

sort it all out along the way

not many a woman i've known

grew in beauty of the woods

with her mama and her daddy living like they should

when the time came to join the band took their children by the hand

now your brother talks to god on the saxophone

heard your brother talking to god on the saxophone

hey sarah are you healing up

i know you will pass growing up

your roots are so deep in the hills

hey sarah it's time you traveled some

forget those boys and roll along

sort it all out along the way

sort it all out along the way

not many a woman i've known realize that there's two ways

to fall out of a love or to jump off of a train

if you fall and bust your dreams then it should be plain to see

you pick yourself back up and you walk on home

you pick yourself back up and you walk on home

there's a fire burning there

it's crawling upon your knees

follow your big brother to that clearing in the trees

gather round your daddy

help him save your home

if you ever get burned you'll have place to go

hey sarah are you healing up

i know you will pass growing up

your roots are so deep in the hills

hey sarah it's time you traveled some

forget those boys and roll along

sort it all out along the way

sort it all out along the way

not many a woman i've known took her first trip and hopped a train
