Lyrics
Can?t Help But Wonder
Marghi Allen
(c) 1976, 2002
I used to be a girl with a shining face
Who favored lace and poetry
But time put these lines here in my face
And I?ve been punching this clock
At this damn factory
And I can?t help but wonder
If its ever gonna end
No I can?t help but wonder
If I am ever gonna win
I?d like to see my folks
If I could find the time
But they live so far away
They?re getting older now
They?re past their prime
And my daddy?s hair has turned all grey
And I can?t help but wonder
If its ever gonna end
No I can?t help but wonder
If I am ever gonna win
I went to Florida last July
I baked out in the sun
This year I think that I am gonna try
To go somewhere where I can be
All alone
And I can?t help but wonder
If its ever gonna end
No I can?t help but wonder
If I am ever gonna win.
