Katie was the first of us to make it 
Dhe cut her hair - I followed down the tracks 
With a little food and a baseball bat for practice 
We carried everything upon our backs 

We'd walk the edge of every town we came to 
Till nothing was left open but the bars 
Then we'd sit awhile and watch the twilight dwindle 
Until we fell asleep under the stars 

They hover far above our indiscretions 
They twinkle from a place we can't conceive 
And you can beg and you can plead for their protection
But a little light is all that you'll receive 

They caught us half a mile out of Lakeland 
Katie ran so fast they didn't have a chance 
Well they cuffed me quick and tossed me in the back seat 
And I begged and cried, o please don't take me back 

An hour gone is an hour of aching 
I just paced the cell and imagined the sky 
Outside the crickets called out for each other 
Looking for a friend to help them pass the time 

Now the school is gone and the church is boarded over 
And Muffler King has muffled its last car 
Four decades on there's nothing left to see here 
And sympathy won't carry you too far 
You can keep your prayers, I only need the stars
