Rusty pickup idles by the boarded up cafe
Frankie's laughter used to echo, now it feels like a bad day
Heard your momma whisperin' 'bout bills pilin' high
Another empty chair at dinner, another tear in your eye
Your daddy shakes his head, wonders where the years went by
Life's a highway, Maria, with exits we can't deny
Old man rants about the factory, the jobs that went elsewhere
This town's a faded photograph, a life we can't repair
But Maria, honey, listen close, beneath the rust and pain
There's a fire in your spirit, a strength that won't be chained
We'll pick up the pieces, plant some seeds and watch 'em grow
This ain't the end of the story, there's still a fight left to show
Where have you been lately Maria
Now that Frankie's been gone I haven't seen ya
It's gonna be alright but things just haven't been the same
My old man says he doesn't understand
How it all just turned into a wasteland
Everything's changed, and things will never be the same
Use to cruise Main Street in his cherry red Chevelle
Now a rustin' hulk in a junkyard, a forgotten shell
They say time heals all wounds, but some cuts run too deep
Leavin' scars etched on your heart, secrets your soul can't keep
But Maria, listen close, there's still a fire in your eyes
We might be lost in shadows, but together we can rise
Where have you been lately Maria
Now that Frankie's been gone I haven't seen ya
It's gonna be alright but things just haven't been the same
My old man says he doesn't understand
How it all just turned into a wasteland
Everything's changed, and things will never be the same
Frankie's usual booth, where we used to hang all night long
The diner's half empty, jukebox plays a slow song
Frankie's jacket hangs there, untouched, a cruel design
Caught you staring at it, tears welling' in your eyes
But somethin' tells me, Maria, you're stronger than you know
We'll find a way to weather this storm, watch the wild wind blow
Where have you been lately Maria
Now that Frankie's been gone I haven't seen ya
It's gonna be alright but things just haven't been the same
My old man says he doesn't understand
How it all just turned into a wasteland
Everything's changed, and things will never be the same
