Eve's Daughter

I was young, spring had sprung
I wanted out of Alamogordo
Kept a 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 23, he was on leave
And the rest gets a little blurry
Maybe it was circumstance but I saw my chance and I took it
Through a sunset, shifting gears
'Til there's something better shining diamond clear
Shining diamond clear
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 awhile we were in tall cotton
He started comin' home high
And then came the fights
And I did what I had to do
I hit the sunset, shiftin' gears
'Til there's somethin' better shinin' diamond clear
Lookin' for happy ever
After forever and ever and ever and ever again
Started over in Kansas City
Stayed too long at your aunt Debbie's
A lotta workin' late, a little Section 8
And the burden gets a little less heavy
Sometime 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
Love showed up and I let him in
And if I had to do it all again
I'd hit the sunset, shiftin' gears
'Til there's somethin' better shinin' diamond clear
I found my happy ever
After forever and ever and ever and ever again
