Lost all alone
Out in the night
Can't see through the darkness
So she calls out in fright

Oh daddy oh dear daddy
I'm sorry I ran
Away from home she did go
Against his will with that man

He promised bright lights
And things of that nature
Lost city buildings
She thought it would suit her

But it didn't take long
For her to lose control
Over the drinking and the cheating
By the man she loved so

She stayed up late one night
With her edge in a bottle
Pistol by her side
Finger on the throttle

Did he stop her on in
She said can't take it no more
Before she new the gun was smoking
As he laid upon the phone

Distraught and confused
Dropped the pistol from her hand
Not knowing what to do
Through the night she ran

She forgot that the city
Was worse than home
Barefoot and broken hearted
She's far away from home

She was found in an ally
Cold as a stone
Some say you can hear her
She's still all alone

O daddy oh dear daddy
I'm sorry I ran
Away from home she did go
Against his will with that man
