[Verse 1]
Carla missed her stop
In a cursed little way
She froze at the curb
Then laughed it away
Now her skirt felt wrong
And the clock ran loud
She kept her chin up
Through the commuter crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
She texted, “Don’t ask”
Then she hurried off
One bad morning
Could not knock her off
[Chorus]
Carla, Carla, keep going
(Carla, Carla)
Carla, Carla, you’re glowing
(keep going)
Target doors open wide
New pants, new life, new stride
Carla, Carla, keep going
(Carla, Carla)
[Verse 2]
Past the carts and cards
Past the shampoo wall
She found clean cotton
And a mercy haul
Bag in one hand
Coffee in the other
She gave herself grace
Like she’d give to another
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, “That was rough”
Then she let it pass
Nothing stays heavy
When you move fast
[Chorus]
Carla, Carla, keep going
(Carla, Carla)
Carla, Carla, you’re glowing
(keep going)
Target doors open wide
New pants, new life, new stride
Carla, Carla, keep going
(Carla, Carla)
[Bridge]
A bad day bent
But it did not break
She changed the story
With one small shake
Fresh from the bag
She stepped back out
Still Carla, still brave
Still figuring it out
[Final Chorus]
Carla, Carla, keep going
(Carla, Carla)
Carla, Carla, you’re glowing
(keep going)
Target doors open wide
New pants, new life, new stride
Carla, Carla, keep going
(Carla, Carla)
