Bilingual
That voice told my heart to turn around
But my heart, my heart, wouldn't shake
But that voice was so damn persistent, so I
I disconnected the brakes
And I pushed, I pushed that pedal down
I watched that fuel gauge as it went south
And I pushed, I pushed that pedal down
My engine sputtered and died
Right in front of her house
ย
Her father was stationed overseas
And her mom was buried in the backyard
She didn't have a future there
She had five gallons of gasoline
She packed her things inside my car
And in the kitchen by the phone, with a felt-tip pen
She wrote a note
She said, "Daddy, I can't take it"
"I can't take it, I can't take it anymore"
"They tell me there's a world out there"
"But I just gotta make sure"
She turned around and took a last look
And then she shut that beater door
And I pushed that pedal down
That voice told my heart to turn around
But my heart, my heart, wouldn't shake
But that voice was so damn persistent, so I
I disconnected the brakes
Her father was stationed overseas
And her mom was buried in the backyard
She didn't have a future there
She had five gallons of gasoline
She packed her things inside my car
