lyrics

She drove him south to escape
The “man” who was trying to lock him up in Philly
They stopped in Georgia, then headed west
To finally settle down it east Texas

And there they stayed
There she laid
Lost in his gaze, believing
He would stay with me
For years they traveled, separate roads
She had a kid and he joined a mission I’m told
He married Jesus
She, a rich man’s son
It felt like the jail that they had escaped from

But there they stayed
There she laid
Lost in his gaze and wondering...
Where was he without me?
Where was he without me?
But there they stayed
There she laid
There he prayed wondering...
Where was she without me?

Still I think about what could have been
Every couple of years it’s you but I let the phone ring
What could have happened in the right place at the right time
Too scared, so scared, this idea of our love would die

So there they stayed
There she laid
There he prayed
Wondering....
Yes, there they stayed
There she laid
There he prayed
All their lives wondering....
