Lyrics Highway - Wayward Daughter

Awkward into

She's got trouble tattooed on her lips
And someone else's boyfriend
Clinging onto her hips

She's awful tired of booze and cigarettes
Cause that's the only way
That she's going to forget

All of the heartache and all of the bruises
The kisses with glisten
The constant excuses

She was the child with a gleam in her eye
But now she's a woman who's barely alive

Hush now darling don't you cry
Cause' you know it'll make it worse
If he sees sorrow in your eyes

And hush now darling dont say a word

Because you know that in the end
You'll just be seen and not heard

She knows exactly just how to hold her tongue
And although she wants to she just cannot run...

Away from the man who's taken hold of her life
Put a roof over her head and made her his wife.

She's got chains that are tied to her feet,
A ring on her finger and vows made to keep,

She's imprisoned in the place he calls home
And when he's around she's never felt so alone

Hush now darling don't you cry
Cause you know it'll make it worse
If he sees sorrow in your eyes

And hush now darling don't say a word

Cause you know that in the end
You'll just be seen and not heard

Hush now darling don't you cry

Hush now darling, dry your eyes

Hush now darling, don't say a word
And you'll escape just like the
Mocking bird

Hush now darling don't you cry
Cause you know it'll make it worse
If he sees sorrow in your eyes

And hush now darling don't say a word
Cause you know that in the end
You'll just be seen and not heard

Hush now darling don't you cry
Cause you know it'll make it worse
If he sees sorrow in your eyes

And hush now darling don't say a word

Cause you know that in the end
You'll just be seen and not heard
