Emily's riding through town for the last time tonight
Said she's leaving this place for good
I know it appears at times to be all you can do
To keep your head and your body above
Emily's seeing this place for the last time
No hesitation, as she walked out the door
Said Emily's mother with a gleam in her eye
She said girl you know you gotta do good
She said something like this
You gotta live life with meaning
And take it all the way, you got to
Show that your strong enough
To take it all the way, you got to
Live life with meaning
And take it all the way
You've got to
Show that your strong enough
To take it all the way
Come on Emily, Emily
Oh, oh girl
Oh Emily I know that you're out there
Just waiting for a man like me
It's no surprise to see your temperature rise
Reach for the sky and say
Live life with meaning
And take it all the way
You've got to
Show that you're strong enough
To take it all the way
You've got to
Live life with meaning
And take it all the way
You've got to
Show that you're strong enough
To take it all the way
Emily I know by the wheels that roll that you're out there
Just waiting for a man like me
It's no surprise to see your temperature rise
Reach for the sky and say
Live life with meaning
And take it all the way
You've got to
Show that you're strong enough
To take it all the way
You've got to
Live life with meaning
And take it all the way
You've got to
Show that you're strong enough
To take it all the way
Come on Emily
