Sitting on a bus holding her cross, wondering deep inside Rolling through a field with some alamo steel looking for a place to hide She's heading out west but she can't confess and she's hoping that she can find A way to explain the cause of her pain and the shame that she left behind Hoping someday she'll learn to behave so that people don't wonder just what's gotten under her skin The satellite eyes of the runaway bride is all that is on TV She's counting the miles to forget for a while but she won't take the test to see The desert goes by with its elegant sky reaching for a silhouette peak She's got tears in her eyes but before the ink dries she's hoping that she can speak Hoping someday she'll learn to explain so that people don't wonder just what's gotten under her skin What's it about, you're not ready yet? If it's in doubt, how far you gonna get? Your ticket to ride has got you on the run Ready or not your future's gonna come What's it about, you're not ready yet?
