lyrics

She was kissed by her cousin on her very own bed
She didn’t know what was softer, her flannel sheets or his hand
She was pissed at her mother for making her stay
So she ran away
She went out walking on Highway 111

I was afraid he’d see my face
I was afraid I’d see his face
But I don’t know where I’m supposed to go but home

After he fell asleep she rolled off the bed
Put on a lightweight dress and a winter hat on her head
Toes dug down deep in the fishbone sand
Throwing stones in the sea she discovered a plan
She’d go hitchhiking on Highway 111

Get in the car darling
We drive real far darling
Get the hell out of town
There’s no one else around
I was afraid He’d see my face

I was afraid I’d see His face
