Eve's Daughter

I was young, spring had sprung I wanted out of Alamo Kept the party dress in the glove compartment Of my green-and-white Ford Bronco A gust of wind came blastin' in The gas station where I was workin' He was twenty-three, he was on leave And the rest gets a little blurry Maybe it was circumstance But I saw my chance and I took it To the sunset, shiftin' gears 'Til there's somethin' better shinin' diamond clear Shinin' diamond clear We didn't have much in common but I had fallen I was thirsty and he looked like water When I started to show, he proposed For a while we were in tall cotton He started comin' home high and then came the fights And I did what I had to do Trough a sunset, shiftin' gears 'Til there's somethin' better shinin' diamond clear Lookin' for happy ever Happy forever and ever and ever and ever again Started a home in Kansas City Stayed too long at period, baby A lotta workin' late, a little Section Eight And the burden gets a little less scary Sometimes it was treadin' water Guess it sometimes for all Eve's daughters Lookin' for happy ever Happy forever and ever and ever and ever again Love showed up and I let him in And if I had to do it all again I hit the sunset, shiftin' gears 'Til there's somethin' better shinin' diamond clear I found my happy ever Happy forever and ever and ever and ever again --- Eve's Daughter - Amanda Shires
