Lyrics

The sun came out on Friday
She told me she was done
Patched up her cuts and scratches
She said I think my time has come

To run from the home town weather
Run through the fire and the flood
She said it’s now or never
I got fighting in my blood

Well the old man walked out last summer
Soon after the fire went through
There wasn’t much left when the post office closed
Mum said what else can you do?

Girl you’re better off leaving
Don’t get stuck in the country mud
She walked out with her gloves in her hands
And fighting in her blood

Little girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
She’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
Little girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do

She’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do

Bells rang out on Saturday night
She stepped out into the ring
The little girl came out dancing
And the crowd began to sing

Combinations kept on coming
If not for money then do it for love
She said I gotta roll with the punches
‘Cos I got fighting in my blood

Little girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
Little girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
Little girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
Little girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
