|
Barely old enough to legally drive. |
|
She took off in her stepmothers van. |
|
A restlessness that blew her over the line. |
|
Like the wind inside an aluminum can. |
|
At a pay phone in a donut shop. |
|
She called a friend back home. |
|
Were all worried theyve called the cops. |
|
Are you crazy? Where have you gone? |
|
She said what would you do if you were me? |
|
When its suicide to stay, and murder to leave. |
|
She ran out of gas down in New Mexico. |
|
And got a job at a local cafe. |
|
Friday nights they featured live rock and roll. |
|
She fell in love with a boy who played. |
|
He had soulful eyes and indian blood. |
|
No intention of staying around. |
|
All he took was his harmonica and her heart when he left town. |
|
He said what would you do if you were me? |
|
When its suicide to stay, and murder to leave? |
|
She never married but she did have a child. |
|
A sweet young girl by the name of Sioux. |
|
She had spirit and a heart breaking smile. |
|
And some beat up moccasin boots. |
|
Anf they had nothing but each others love. |
|
An apartment by the tracks. |
|
And when the day came that Sioux grew up. She said someday Ill be back. |
|
Oh now. |
|
What would you do, if you were me? |
|
When its suicide to stay, and murder to leave? |
