I’m just a woman in a room
Trying to make my way
Out here on the road I’m free
On Highway 33

Our Lady of the Parking Lot
Please keep me safe tonight
I know I’m doing wrong
But I’ll be no man’s wife

Yes there’s somewhere
I would rather be
Most anywhere you can name
On Highway 33

Ventura to Maricopa
Firebaugh to Mendota
Hayfields, hayseeds, hey babe,
Want to pass the time with me?

I’m in no hurry, I’m not worried
I don’t want to settle down
Just find me a turnout
Somewhere down the road
Make me some money
They call me Honey out here
On Highway 33

Their hands, their hips,
Their backs, their lips
Make the most of me
Out here on the road
On Highway 33

The first time was an accident
Or seemed that way to me
Hey, mister, can you give me a ride?
He did, but not for free.

Sweet sixteen
It happened somewhere
Right around here
On Highway 33.

Taft to McKittrick
Coalinga to Gustine
No one can find you
Even the road goes there to hide.

Our Lady of the Parking Lot
Please keep me safe tonight
I know I’m doing wrong
But I’ll be no man’s wife.

I’m just a woman in a room
Trying to make my way
Out here on the road I’m free
On Highway 33
