Artist/Band: Nanci Griffith
Lyrics for Song: She Ain't Goin' Nowhere
Lyrics for Album: Blue Roses From The Moons [1997]



(Guy Clark)



She was standin' on the gone side of leavin'

She found her thumb and stuck it in the breeze

She'll take anything that's goin' close to somewhere else

She can lay it down and live it as she please



Chorus

She ain't goin' nowhere

She's just leavin'

She ain't goin' nowhere

Se can't breathe in

She ain't goin' home and that's for sure



She's not sittin' down and crying on her suitcase

She has no second thoughts by the road



She's got feelings that need some repairin'

And she did not give a damn that it showed



Chorus



The wind had a way with her hair

And the blues had a way with her smile

And she had a way of her own

Like prisoners have a way with a file



Chorus (Twice)



She ain't goin' home that's for sure


She Ain't Goin' Nowhere

Released on the 1997 album *Blue Roses From The Moons*, the track exemplifies Griffith's ability to weave complex emotional landscapes into accessible melodies. As a prominent figure in the American folk revival, Griffith often explored themes of resilience and the complexities of relationships, themes that resonate deeply within this recording. The song's production captures the intimate yet expansive quality of her work from the mid-to-late 1990s, reflecting a period where her artistry continued to evolve while maintaining her distinct voice. It remains a staple in her catalog, showcasing her mastery of storytelling through music without relying on explicit lyrical exposition.
