Julia's Escape (song)

=============== JULIA'S ESCAPE - (NEP submitted xx Aug 2014)

(song - fast C/W kicker)

 He punched his pickup's horn
  As he hit the drive-up window of
 The lonely all-night drive-thru
  Liquor-firearms-cigar-porno store
 Peeled off a few greenbacks and
  Peeled out with his eyes aglow
 Ya never know when Lady Luck's
  Gonna stagger through your door
 
 She ducked behind mesquite shadows
  As the chopper swirled overhead
 Searchlights reaching down
  Like burning fingers to the ground
 But it passed by and she reached the road,
  Flagged down that flame-red pickup
 Ya never know what kinda luck
  Will save ya from the hounds
 
 She knew him right away
  From the way he smiled and lied
 He knew her right away too
  But he's too revved to really care
 There's no excuses, no secrets,
  Just blood and bone and hair
 Sometimes you're the cougar and
  Sometimes you're the bear

 She honked the pickup's klaxon as
  She laughed in the wind
 Waved her new jewelry,
  Rubbed the tattoos on her thighs
 Another fast encounter
  Lost somewhere far behind
 Another fresh tomorrow
  Dangling just before her eyes
