[00:13.26]Listen baby, I won’t leave no trace.
[00:18.99]Gonna light out of here for some cleaner place.
[00:23.92]I’ll be sitting in the backseat with my hair in my face,
[00:31.03]Then gone fast as freedom on good wind.
[00:34.90]
[00:35.85]If I got my hopes too high, this is no easy kind of life.
[00:47.71]But I see it in my mind’s eye, touch me real as daytime,
[00:53.64]And I can’t keep from trying.
[00:57.35]
[01:01.01]No place to run for a girl like me,
[01:07.04]Whole lot of used to’s and supposed to be’s,
[01:12.21]I want to burn like august, shine like gold dust,
[01:18.94]Where everyday living can’t hold me.
[01:22.96]
[01:23.94]If I got my hopes too high, this is no easy kind of life.
[01:35.72]But I see it in my mind’s eye, touch me real as daytime,
[01:41.63]And I can’t keep from trying.
[01:44.40]
[02:12.16]So when I reach for you from some way down place,
[02:19.01]Don’t be a stranger who won’t show his face.
[02:25.04]I got no promise but these words I say,
[02:31.06]I carry you, you carry me,
[02:34.91]
[02:35.93]If I got my hopes too high, this is no easy kind of life.
[02:59.81][02:47.82]But I see it in my mind’s eye, touch me real as daytime,
[03:05.75][02:53.66]And I can’t keep from trying.
