Steal a Memory

Steal a memory
I fell in love with a felon’s daughter
A girl on a balcony
A young runaway From Pittsfield, Georgia
Babe, leave that railing be
Your wings are frayed
And it’s a long way down
Come breakin’ dawn we’ll leave
On the next bus out of town
Just you and me
Steal a memory
Your brown hair in the wind
The seat of our Mercury
Under the willow tree
I won’t be coming home this time
Home is too far down the road
Love will leave you by the highway side
But everybody knows it’s worth the ride

Steal a memory
Me and my sweetheart walk past the tannery
Down to the railroad crossing
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let it downpour it’s alright
I been afraid to die
Now I see I never lived before tonight
