8teen

She was eighteen, far from flawless
 Born in the bayou outside New Orleans
 Rawlings baseball glove
 The one thing Daddy left to show his
 Loved her cigarettes
 Miller high life from Friday's check
 Making blackjack bets down at Harrah's
 Borrowed a bit too
 Muchy, muchy, pass the dutchie
 Pedal to the metal and pop the clutchie
 Blue lights in the cracked rear view
 The voodoo you do trying to pass right through you
 The voodoo you do trying to pass right through you
 She was only eighteen
 Only eighteen
 She was only eighteen
 Only eighteen
 She was eighteen, far from home
 Deep in the dirt like skeleton bones
 Owned nothing in hand
 But a bright red raft boat down the Rio Grande
 Prize never came
 Feel the shame, break the brain, hop the train
 The train of thought that rocked and knocked
 All that you knew, you came and sought
 What brings and brought you back to life inside a pot
 That calls the kettle black
 No turning back
 Thumbs up, head down, fly by four wheels, whack
 And just like that, and just like that
 She was carved in stone
 And just like that
 She's coming home
 And just like that
 She was carved in stone
 And just like that
 She's coming home
 And just like that
 She was only eighteen
 Only eighteen
 She was only eighteen
 Only eighteen
 She was only eighteen
 She was only, only eighteen
 (Only eighteen)
 She was only, only eighteen
 (Only eighteen)
 She was only, only eighteen
 (Only eighteen)
 She was only, only eighteen
 (Only eighteen)
 She was only, only eighteen
 (Only eighteen)
