Runnin'
it was her one day off
from the diner where she worked
she was out on the back roads
kickin' up dirt
i saw her comin' and i waited
till we rode out side by side
across the flats along the ridges
the sun hot through my shirt
she was a truck stop waitress
on a credit card afternoon
hugged the Harley like a promise
and she rode it like ruin
we made love in the dunes
sunshine in her eyes
then she was gone in a hurry
now i'm runnin' from the memory
of the sunshine in her eyes
