[Intro 1]
[D][Em]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
She got a [D]compact mirror
Stole it off her mother
She got her [Em]daddy's overnight
traveling bag
[G]Always been told "if you wanna leave home honey,
you ain't [D]ever, ever welcome back"
And now she's down at the station,
baby in her belly
Kickin' [Em]gentle momma chilled to the max
She got a [G]one way ticket,
goin'cross the border
For her [D]hopes and all her dreams

[Verse 2]
Rollin down the train tracks, yeah
[D]How can I protect you in this,
[Em]crazy world?
It's al[G]right
Yeah
It's alright
[D]

[Verse 3]
From two to nine you work for
five- a- dime
Start the night with some
thunderbird wine
[Em]Praise the lord for those
neon lights that'a
Keep the city burnin' bright all night
[G]Walkin' in the park in
the midnight rain
Swear to yourself that ya
gonna change
[D]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
[Em]You ain't surprised though you wonder
why your letters come back unopened
[G]So you hit the strip with your
freak flag high an'
Forget about the tears in your
daddy's eyes
Mom[D]ma don't worry if
the waters rise
Don't ever let my drink run

[Verse 4]
dry till the sunshine
[D]How can I protect you in this,
[Em]crazy world?
It's al[G]right
Yeah
It's alright
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]And when the t[D]alkin's over
There's [Em]nothing left I can do
[G]How'm I ever gonna get
through to you?
[D]Let the angels

[Verse 6]
be the
navigators
The devil will get there on his own
Let the cherubin
Let the serafin
Keep you walkin' on the road back home,
yeah
