lyrics

He was 22, she was only just 18
He was burnin’ to leave and she was gasoline
When her mama died, her daddy got real mean.
He said, “Follow me.”
He said, “Follow me.”
So they saddled up in a Mustang that he stole
From a man that his mother loved, and he had never known
They filled the back seat up with everything they owned
They were headed East
They were headed East


They stood together skipping stones in colder weather
It was only the beginning
They cast their fears on the water
They suffered, sang, and swore
As they turned aside from a southern shore and walked away
And a future was forgotten
Yeah they walked away…and a future was forgotten.

The sun set down in the rearview as they drove and drove
Pressed on with a clear view of an open road
In the darkness it became clear they didn’t know
Where to go from here
Where to go from here
They were two days down the road when he turned around
And the console felt like a canyon in the ground
They were makin’ their way back home to a little town
Out of guilt and fear
It was guilt and fear

They stood together skipping stones in colder weather
It was only the beginning
And they cast their hopes on the water
They both died, to live no more
As they turned aside from a southern shore
And walked away
And a future was forgotten
Yeah they walked away…and a future was forgotten
