Lyrics

She woke up last June, that phone no ring, and I know it’s you
I scream, boy, come down and say you know who
She gonna run you off, that’s what she’ll do

Cause you can’t stare down a lion, can’t clip on eagle’s wings
Can’t stop that mountain climbing, determined as you might be
He’s going away, say baby stay, I gotta go, you say I’m going your way
Slow down girl, listen what I say, let the boy chase you, he’ll come back your way

Cause you can’t stop the rain from coming, can’t stop that bridge that’s burning
Can’t stop your heart from trying, some lessons you gotta learn

Now running off this time
A smile on your face, turn upside down
Now he’s got his feet back on solid ground
Another love of yours that’s going down, down, down

Cushion you, stand your final round, give off your dream, choose happy now
Three kids to feed, no money in sight, guess the easy way ain’t easy now

Cause you can’t keep the bills from coming, can’t keep that dream alive
Blue eyes slowly fading, cause all you do is cry

You woke up, it was just a dream, still got your freedom, don’t wear no ring
Got another chance to lead a happy life, not ready to be somebody’s wife

No you can’t clip an angel’s wings, once she learns to fly
Didn’t take that easy way out, now all you do is smile
No you can’t clip an angel’s wings, once she learns to fly
Didn’t take that easy way out, now all you do is smile
