Album: Birds Make Good Neighbors

When they talked her eyes were wide
as a wildcat's in the night
she seemed so hard pressed for air
so he calmed her and smoothed her hair
they sat under the carport light
then they kissed and held eachother tight
their hearts held a thousand stars
trembling in her small town yard
he had a plan to slip away
she said no, tonight it's okay.
things inside me will run their course.
and if i'm not there it would get much worse
it could all come down on my sister
he'll worry and miss her
but he knows when cornered
a wildcat will fight
those born foreign to flight, they say
teenage kids can't get it right
they don't know soem older sisters
he'll worry and miss her
but he knows when cornered a wildcat
he'll worry and miss her
but he knows when cornered
a wildcat will fight
