And she runs through her days with a smile on her face

And she runs, and she waits, and I wait

We can drive to anyplace, day or night, across the state

And in the morning, into Mexico, we will wake up



I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in

Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer

I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed

I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!



I stumble in the hallway, outside her bedroom door

I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice

She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door



I will be with her tonight
