| She squeezed the handle and topped the tank off
|
| Pulled out her necklace and kissed the cross
|
| El Paso heat wave risin' off the hood
|
| She’s goin' through with somethin'
|
| He never thought she would.
|
| By now he’s rollin' over on his back
|
| But he ain’t wakin' up not with all the liquor he’s had
|
| She’ll be halfway to Longview by the time he starts to stir
|
| By the time he opens his eyes
|
| She’ll already be a blur
|
| You go girl, get in that Cadillac
|
| There ain’t no life in lookin' back.
|
| She tore outta that station dust n' gravel flyin'
|
| Side-swiped a couple of highway signs
|
| Tore off both mirrors somethin' free n' wild
|
| Yeah seems like ages but there’s that smile
|
| That long lost smile.
|
| Starin' through that windshield, new look in her eyes
|
| A conscience as clear as the Texas sky
|
| She ran outta patience, outta strength, outta tears
|
| He ran outta second chances, now she’s outta here
|
| You go girl, don’t look back
|
| There ain’t no life in livin' like that.
|
| She tore outta that station dust n' gravel flyin'
|
| Side-swiped a couple of highway signs
|
| Tore off both mirrors somethin' free n' wild
|
| Yeah seems like ages but there’s that smile
|
| That long lost smile
|
| That long lost smile
|
| Yeah, you go girl, you go girl.
|
| Yeah, you go girl, you go girl… |
