Ani Difranco - Going Once lyrics

going once

going twice

sold to the girl

who ignored all the good advice

of all the people who knew better

she just stood there

on the front porch

waiting for her will to come and get her

she was packed

she had a suitcase

full of noble intentions

she had a map

and a staight face

hell bent on reinvention

and she was ready for the lonely

she was in it for it only

going once

going twice

down the road less taken

through the coffee

and the wd40

and the swiss army knife

and the beer

there was always someone there to say

why don't you just stay

and hang your hat here

but she was packed

she had a suitcase

full of fumbles and near misses

she was swinging through a jungle

of last calls and first kisses

and she was learning

about please

about hugh humilities

and then one day she looked around her

and everything up till then was showing

and she wondered how did i get here

without even knowing where i was going

and now there's no getting out of this

and there's no going back

and it all seems so odd sometimes

and the odds all seemed stacked

going once, going twice

sold to the girl

who ignored all the advice

of all the people who knew better

she just stood there

on the front porch

waiting for her will

to come and get her

she was packed

she ahd a suitcase

she had a map

and a straight face

she was ready

for the lonely

she was in it for

it only
