16 Miles

Take what's yours and go
While you still can
While it's still dark outside
Before he's cold

Lawmen coming to your broken home
Hide the hammer
Draw the blinds
Grab the little one and go

Chorus:
You've 16 miles of wasteland left to go
Hike up your skirt now
You better run, girl, run
Hike up your skirt now
You better run, girl, run
Before they find out what you've done
Before they find out what you've done
You better run, girl, run

Truth smashed into your face
Like his big, hard, hand
Ripped up your heart
Ripped up your dress
This was your empire
O Queen of all that's pure
Until he broke your crown
Burned your kingdom down

Chorus:
You've 16 miles of wasteland left to go
Hike up your skirt now
You better run, girl, run
Hike up your skirt now
You better run, girl, run
Before they find out what you've done
Before they find out what you've done
You better run, girl, run

You've got 16 miles of wasteland left to go
Before the morning comes
You've got 16 miles of wasteland left to go
Hike up your skirt now
You better run, girl, run
Hike up your skirt now
You better run, girl, run
Before they find out what you've done
Before they find out what you've done
You better run, girl, run
You better run, girl, run

You better run, girl, run
You better run, girl, run
