Brianna Lea Pruett — New Life lyrics

Lyrics

to find a new life, new life / new life, new life
weren’t no visions of saving her soul / just running away from the old dustbowl
to a new life, new life / new life, new life
new life
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
