Eve's Daughter

I was young, spring had sprung
I wanted out of Alamo
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
To the sunset, shiftin' gears
'Til there's 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

Trough a sunset, shiftin' gears
'Til there's somethin' better shinin' diamond clear
Lookin' for happy ever
Happy forever and ever and ever and ever again

Started a home in Kansas City
Stayed too long at period, baby
A lotta workin' late, a little Section Eight
And the burden gets a little less scary

Sometimes it was treadin' water
Guess it sometimes for all Eve's daughters
Lookin' for happy ever
Happy 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 hit the sunset, shiftin' gears
'Til there's somethin' better shinin' diamond clear
I found my happy ever
Happy forever and ever and ever and ever again
