Eve's Daughter

Lyrics for Eve's Daughter

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 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 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 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 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 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 Love showed up and I let him in And if I had to do it all again 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
