Bilingual
Me and Lonnie thumbed down a Cadillac
Outside Laredo in the heat of the sun
The driver was tanned and he looked like a salesman
We were just children on the run
He talked real funny like we'd never heard
Must have been foreign I guess
And I felt like an actress in an old movie
'Cause Lonnie and I drove west
We were saying goodbye to the ones left behind
Hello to the ones up ahead
Lonnie and me were just drumming our knees
While the radio DJ said
Keep your eyes open for Lonnie and Josie
Sixteen and fourteen playing hooky from school
Last seen they were walking the road by the courtroom
Downtown Laredo at a quarter past two
ย
Our friend in the front seat turned around and smiled
Grinning and shaking his head
Asked us politely where we were going
"Where the sand turns to sea on the coast," I said
We were crossing the border just out of Texas
Past the last dusty abandoned old farm
With the AM playing songs of Sinatra
And Lonnie sleeping in my arm
We were saying goodbye to the ones left behind
Hello to the ones up ahead
Lonnie and me were just drumming our knees
While the radio DJ said
Keep your eyes open for Lonnie and Josie
Sixteen and fourteen playing hooky from school
Last seen they were walking the road by the courtroom
Downtown Laredo at a quarter past two
Keep your eyes open for Lonnie and Josie
Sixteen and fourteen playing hooky from school
Last seen they were walking the road by the courtroom
Downtown Laredo at a quarter past two
Keep your eyes open for Lonnie and Josie
Sixteen and fourteen playing hooky from school
Last seen they were walking the road by the courtroom
Downtown Laredo at a quarter past two
Keep your eyes open for Lonnie and Josie
Sixteen and fourteen playing hooky from school
Last seen they were walking the road by the courtroom
Downtown Laredo at a quarter past two
