Eve’s Daughter

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was young Spring had sprung I wanted out of Alamogordo 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 [Chorus 1] Maybe it was circumstance But I saw my chance and I took it Through the sunset, shiftin' gears To the somethin'-better shinin' diamond-clear Shinin' diamond-clear [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] Through a sunset, shiftin' gears To the somethin'-better shinin' diamond-clear Lookin' for happy ever after Forever and ever and ever and ever again [Verse 3] Started over In Kansas City Stayed too long at your Aunt Debbie's A lotta workin' late A little Section Eight And the burden gets a little less heavy [Chorus 3] Sometimes it was treadin' water Guess it is sometimes for all Eve's daughters Lookin' for happy ever after Forever and ever and ever and ever again [Verse 4] Love showed up and I let him in And if I had to do it all again [Chorus 4] I'd hit the sunset, shiftin' gears To the somethin'-better shinin' diamond-clear I'd find my happy ever after Forever And ever and ever and ever again
