When they talked, her eyes Were wide as a wildcat's in the night She seemed so hard-pressed for air So he calmed her and smoothed her hair They sat under the carport light Then they kissed and held each other tight Their hearts held a thousand stars Trembling in her small town yard
He had a plan to slip away She said "not tonight, it's okay Things inside me will run their course And if I'm not here it would get much worse It could all come down on my sister,"
He'll worry and miss her But he knows when cornered A wildcat will fight Those born foreign to flight, they say Teenage kids can't get it right They don't know some older sisters
He'll worry and miss her But he knows when cornered a wildcat He'll worry and miss her But he knows when cornered A wildcat will fight
