Lyrics Highway - Wayward Daughter

Highway

She’s got trouble tattooed on her lips
and someone else’s boyfriend
clinging onto her hips
She’s awful tired of booze and cigarettes
Cause that’s the only way
that she’s going to forget
All of the heartache and all of the bruises
The kisses with glisten
The constant excuses
She was the child with a gleam in her eye
But now she’s a woman who’s barely alive
Hush now darling don’t you cry
Cause' you know it’ll make it worse
if he sees sorrow in your eyes
And hush now darling dont say a word
because you know that in the end
you’ll just be seen and not heard
She knows exactly just how to hold her tongue
and although she wants to she just cannot run…
away from the man who’s taken hold of her life
Put a roof over her head and made her his wife.
She’s got chains that are tied to her feet,
a ring on her finger and vows made to keep,
She’s imprisoned in the place he calls home
and when he’s around she’s never felt so alone
Hush now darling don’t you cry
Cause you know it’ll make it worse
If he sees sorrow in your eyes
And hush now darling don’t say a word
Cause you know that in the end
You’ll just be seen and not heard
Hush now darling don’t you cry
Hush now darling, dry your eyes
Hush now darling, don’t say a word
And you’ll escape just like the
mocking bird
Hush now darling don’t you cry
Cause you know it’ll make it worse
If he sees sorrow in your eyes
And hush now darling don’t say a word
Cause you know that in the end
You’ll just be seen and not heard
Hush now darling don’t you cry
Cause you know it’ll make it worse
If he sees sorrow in your eyes
And hush now darling don’t say a word
Cause you know that in the end
You’ll just be seen and not heard
