lyrics

She left a few weeks back. Took her photos and her clothes.

Headed for her Sister’s in “Somewhere” Alabama… where it never snows.

A 1000 minutes, a 1000 miles, thrill of being on the run.

She took his left hook. And then she took his only son.

A little cash for gas, from a “John” at the Waffle House.

Her boy asleep in the back seat, as quiet as a mouse.

She brought old cassettes and cigarettes to help pass the time.

Never once regretting who or what she may or may not have left behind.

CHORUS: WAIT… FOR EACH OTHER

AND TAKE CARE…. (ALWAYS TAKE CARE) OF ONE ANOTHER (2X)

Just outta Nashville, the sunset lights the halfway mark.

But a busted headlight… deters her from driving in the dark.

1000 minutes, a 1000 miles, the thrill of being on the run

…She didn’t come this far to have the cops take back her only son

The boy in the back seat should never know what his father had done

CHORUS: WAIT… FOR EACH OTHER

AND TAKE CARE…. OF ONE ANOTHER (2X) …. solo

She left a few days back. Burned all his photos on the stove

Headed for her Sister’s in “Somewhere” Alabama… where God only knows

A 1000 minutes, a 1000 miles and one good reason to run. (Sometimes we all just have to run)

She took his left hook, then she took his only son

REPEAT: The boy in the back seat would never know what his mother had done

CHORUS: WAIT… FOR EACH OTHER

AND TAKE CARE…. OF ONE ANOTHER (3X)
