She's been waiting for someone else to believe
She's been chasing after everybody else's dream
She prayed to Elvis but he didn't feel like listening
Now she's going back to find that life she was trying so hard to leave

She's saying goodbye
She's hauling ass down the freeway all alone
She's saying goodbye
She took her chance
Now this little girl's going home
After all this time and all this pain
Little Emily's going back
She's going back

She took chances she never thought she'd ever take
She lost herself out there
It could have been a bigger mistake
She had all the time in the world
And now she'll never get it back
Who cares?
She's getting now a
And she's got more now than she's ever had

She's saying goodbye
She's hauling ass down the freeway all alone
She's saying goodbye
She took her chance
This little girl's going home
After all this time and all this pain
Little Emily's going back
She's going back

She went too far
No-one to blame
She left a star
She walked away

Emily had everything to lose
She took a fall
She saw the truth

She's saying goodbye
She's hauling ass down the freeway all alone
She's saying goodbye
She took a chance
This little girl's going home
After all this time and all this pain
Little Emily's going back
She's going back

She's saying goodbye
She's hauling ass down the freeway
She's saying goodbye
She took a chance
This little girl's going home
After all this time and all this pain
Little Emily's going back
She's going back
She's going back
Little Emily
