Standing here with a tale to tell 
I might as well tell to you 
Nothing near Wagnerian 
As Terminator Two 
Its an old one about a little dirt farm girl 
Who wanted to get out for good 
Shed do anything to keep that dream 
Shed do anything she could 

CHORUS: 
Who was she 
To feel so free 
With her heart on her sleeve 
She just couldnt believe... 
There was a price to pay 

Her very first chance to escape that year 
Came when the circus had come to town 
She wound up in bed and quite madly in love 
With some rubber nose juggling clown 
He promised he'd return for her come next spring 
And he swore that he wouldn't forget 
Needless to say come the following May 
More than her appetite was getting wet 
She proceeded unheeded and quite undefeated 
To the trailer behind the tents 
And her heart began to scar at his trailer door 
She was gonna go wherever he went 

CHORUS 
He arrived at last about half past 
With a girl under every arm 
But all of this in itself could have been innocent as hell 
But what began to cause her alarm 
Was when he locked the door behind him like she always bee 
She was standing alone in the dirt 
And her eyes were so dry that she began to cry 
And something began to hurt 
She wanted to tear the hair out of her head 
Yeah and she wanted to wish that she was dead 
But a voice in her just would not let her drop 
And her heart began to break but it didn't stop 

Run all you're races 
And don't you fear 
You and I 
Are getting out of here 
And well survive 
That I guarrantee 
Cause you don't need much 
When all you have is me. 

She listened to the little voice in her 
And then she hit the road 
Free at last and with just a tiny scar 
And finally on her own 
No one knows what became of her 
All we know is she got away 
And though there really ain't no guarantees down here 
I like to think she did okay 

CHORUS 

That there's a price to pay(4x)
