Highway - Wayward Daughter

She’s got trouble tattooed on her lips

and someone else’s boyfriend

clinging onto her hips

She’s awful tired of booze and cigarettes

Cause that’s the only way

that she’s going to forget

All of the heartache and all of the bruises

The kisses with glisten

The constant excuses

She was the child with a gleam in her eye

But now she’s a woman who’s barely alive

Hush now darling don’t you cry

Cause' you know it’ll make it worse

if he sees sorrow in your eyes

And hush now darling dont say a word

because you know that in the end

you’ll just be seen and not heard

She knows exactly just how to hold her tongue

and although she wants to she just cannot run…

away from the man who’s taken hold of her life

Put a roof over her head and made her his wife.

She’s got chains that are tied to her feet,

a ring on her finger and vows made to keep,

She’s imprisoned in the place he calls home

and when he’s around she’s never felt so alone

Hush now darling don’t you cry

Cause you know it’ll make it worse

If he sees sorrow in your eyes

And hush now darling don’t say a word

Cause you know that in the end

You’ll just be seen and not heard

Hush now darling don’t you cry

Hush now darling, dry your eyes

Hush now darling, don’t say a word

And you’ll escape just like the

mocking bird

Hush now darling don’t you cry

Cause you know it’ll make it worse

If he sees sorrow in your eyes

And hush now darling don’t say a word

Cause you know that in the end

You’ll just be seen and not heard

Hush now darling don’t you cry

Cause you know it’ll make it worse

If he sees sorrow in your eyes

And hush now darling don’t say a word

Cause you know that in the end

You’ll just be seen and not heard
