Album: Volcano
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?
