Lyrics
We were crossing the border just out of texas, sixteen and fourteen, playing hookey from school
And lonnie sleeping in my arms, hello to the ones up ahead Kiki, we were just children on the run
passed the last dusty abandoned old farm
last seen they were walking the road by the courtroom
he talked real funny like we d never heard
Grinning and shaking his head, me and lonnie thumbed down a cadillac, we were just children on the run
And lonnie sleeping in my arms, playing hookey from school, we were saying goodbye to the ones left behind
The driver was tanned and he looked like a salesman, sixteen and fourteen, asked us politely where we were going
passed the last dusty abandoned old farm
Must have been foreign i guess, passed the last dusty abandoned old farm, must have been foreign i guess
outside laredo in the heat of the sun
Playing the songs of sinatra, asked us politely where we were going Kiki, where the sand turns to sea on the coast
We were saying goodbye to the ones left behind, while the radio d.j
Playing hookey from school, where the sand turns to sea on the coast
keep your eyes open for lonnie and josie
Lonnie and me were just drumming our knees, me and lonnie thumbed down a cadillac
the driver was tanned and he looked like a salesman
We were saying goodbye to the ones left behind, asked us politely where we were going
As lonnie and i drove west, last seen they were walking the road by the courtroom
Playing hookey from school, keep your eyes open for lonnie and josie And, playing the songs of sinatra
