lyrics

There's clothes on the line and overgrown grass
Plenty of time, saved a little bit of cash
He's gonna clean himself up and comb his hair
Sweat through his new shirt, it's too hot to care

And he's driving wreckless to her house
With a silver necklace he paid for himself
And asks "Would you leave with me?"
And away they run
A farmer's daughter and an orphan son

Sounds like applause with the wind in the trees
And the family dog is on the porch asleep
They just cut the engine and roll it down the hill
If you don't leave tonight you never will

Driving wreckless headed down south
With the last of the summer sun shining on her mouth
And they say they'll figure it out as they go along
A farmer's daughter and an orphan son

Didn't leave nothing but a note on the door
Almost as if they were only going out to the store
Couldn't wait to leave it all behind
That little nowhere town and nowhere state of mind
It's a state of mind

They're living wreckless in the city they found
Out among the misfits and the outcast crowd
It's like you're bullet proof when you're wild and young
A farmer's daughter and an orphan son
