Текст Amanda Shires — Eve’s Daughter

[Verse 1]
I was young
Spring had sprung
I wanted out of Alamogordo
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

[Chorus 1]
Maybe it was circumstance
But I saw my chance and I took it
Through the sunset, shiftin’ gears
To the somethin’-better shinin’ diamond-clear
Shinin’ diamond-clear

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
Through a sunset, shiftin’ gears
To the somethin’-better shinin’ diamond-clear
Lookin’ for happy ever after
Forever and ever and ever and ever again

[Verse 3]
Started over
In Kansas City
Stayed too long at your Aunt Debbie’s
A lotta workin’ late
A little Section Eight
And the burden gets a little less heavy

[Chorus 3]
Sometimes it was treadin’ water
Guess it is sometimes for all Eve’s daughters
Lookin’ for happy ever after
Forever and ever and ever and ever again

[Verse 4]
Love showed up and I let him in
And if I had to do it all again

[Chorus 4]
I’d hit the sunset, shiftin’ gears
To the somethin’-better shinin’ diamond-clear
I’d find my happy ever after Forever
And ever and ever and ever again
