How Can I Protect You
I never play with guns
She got a compact mirror Stole it off her mother She got her daddy's Overnight traveling bag
Always been told If you wanna leave home, honey You ain't ever, ever welcome back
And now she's down at the station Baby in her belly Kickin' gentle momma Chilled to the max
She got a one way ticket Goin' 'cross the border For her hopes and all her dreams Rollin' down the train tracks, yeah
How can I protect you In this crazy world? It's alright, yeah It's alright
From two to nine you work for five a dime Start the night with some thunder bird wine Praise the Lord for those neon lights That'a keep the city burnin' bright all night
Walkin' in the park in the midnight rain Swear to yourself that ya gonna change Ain't gonna crash, ain't gonna burn Ain't gonna take no wrong turn
Feel so alone, so you telephone, ya Call collect, ain't nobody home You ain't surprised though you wonder why Your letters come back unopened Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
So you hit the strip with your freak flag high An' forget about the tears in your daddy's eyes Momma don't worry if the waters rise Don't ever let my drink run dry till the sunshine
How can I protect you In this crazy world? It's alright, yeah It's alright
And when the talkin's over There's nothing left I can do How'm I ever gonna get through to you?
Let the angels be the navigators The devil will get there on his own Let the cherubim, let the serafin Keep you walkin' on the road back home, yeah
How can I protect you In this crazy world? It's alright, yeah It's alright
How can I protect you In this crazy world? It's alright, yeah It's alright
How can I protect you In this crazy world? It's alright, yeah It's alright
It's alright, yeah It's alright
