If you have ever been alone
In a strange city
With a baby and a broken-down VW bus
And a dog that wouldn’t stop barking
Not a penny in your pocket
No husband or boyfriend
Well, me too.
The city was Denver.
For all I cared it could have been the moon.
I left the dog in the car
And knocked on the door of the
Volunteers of America.
Next morning
I put the baby on my hip
And walked for hours
You know we were moon walking.
