Just outside of Oklahoma City buckled down and riding in the cold
The sign she held said “anywhere you’re going”,
And I picked up a runaway on the road
And I can see her gold hair flowin’ in the wind
I can hear that motorcycle whine
Grinding to a standstill
Stopping by the roadside
And I can feel her body next to mine
She said she’d left her high school and a family
Traded in her daddy’s limousines
For a bedroll and extra pair of scandals
Blue sweater and a pair of worn out jeans
(Chorus)
She was leaving me due west of Albuquerque
Said she had some friends in Santa Fe
When a chauffeured Cadillac rolled up beside her
And headed eastbound with my runaway
(Chorus)
