Tara Oram - No Easy Way Out lyrics

She packed a yellow bag made by samsonite She only packed enough for an overnight She caught the morning bus To catch the early train That runs just twice a day, up to abilene She wasn't showing yet, she kept her secret hid She didn't tell the boy, she couldn't live with it It was so hard for her, to make the choice She fought a hundred miles, with her inner voice And the water runs deep In the river of doubt And it offers no easy way out Her best friend told the boy, what she was gonna do The words hit him so hard, it broke his heart in two And when he heard the news, he made his tires scream He swore he'd drive all night, to get to abilene And the water runs deep In the river of doubt And it offers no easy way out Only the river heard him call her name As the angels called his On that bridge in the rain It's hard to find a job when you're just seventeen And when the whole town knows you've been to abilene But losing him taught her, the value of a life She wipes away the tears, and holds their baby tight
