What Would You Do
Lyricist:Edie Arlisa Brickell
Barely old enough to legally drive She took off in her stepmother's van A restlessness that blew her over the line Like the wind inside an aluminum can
At a pay phone in a donut shop She called a friend back home 'We're all worried and they've called the cops Are you crazy? Where have you gone?'
She said, 'What would you do if you were me When it's suicide to stay and murder to leave?'
She ran out of gas down in New Mexico And got a job at a local cafe Friday nights they featured live rock and roll She fell in love with a boy who played
He had soulful eyes and Indian blood Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com No intention of hangin' around All he took was his harmonica And her heart when he left town
He said, 'What would you do if you were me When it's suicide to stay and murder to leave?'
She never married but she did have a child A sweet young girl by the name of Sioux She had spirit and a heart breaking smile And some beat up moccasin boots
And they had nothing but each other's love An apartment by the tracks And when came the day that Sioux grew up She said, 'Someday I'll be back'
Oh now what would you do if you were me? When it's suicide to stay and murder to leave?
