|
Uncle slim had let her know she couldn't ride that horse |
|
He was the one that was only meant for men |
|
She walked around till way after dark |
|
Rode that horse with all her heart |
|
And in the night how she rode |
|
Chorus: |
|
Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside |
|
And even if she fell she'd survive |
|
In spite of all the tears she may cry |
|
This is how she has to live her life |
|
As hard as it may be, she has to find out for herself |
|
Mama and daddy told her from the start he was no good |
|
They'd seen how he treated the other girls |
|
She waited around till the sun went down |
|
Slipped out of the house not makin' a sound |
|
And in the night oh how they drove |
|
Repeat chorus: |
|
It was fifteen years to the day he became a stranger in her eyes |
|
In the coldest words of anger |
|
He said without me you won't survive |
|
There's a suitcase in the closet she had packed six months ago |
|
She don't leave a note that's not her style |
|
So she waited around till way after dark |
|
Left that man who broke her heart |
|
Now she's gone, oh she's gone |
|
Repeat chorus: |
