Lyrics

Vs.1
There she is on her front stoop
Waitin for that old boy to come
He pulls up in his 81 Camaro
She jumps in, he peels away
And they make their great escape
Headin for Atlanta today

Vs.2
There?s nothing left for them in Union
Maybe a few high school friends
Most of whom married right out of school
Now they?re working dead-end jobs
And getting nowhere fast
They don?t wanna end up like that

Chorus:
Like two birds on a wire
Watching that morning sunrise
When you?re with me
Everything?s ok
Just don?t ever fly away

Vs.3
The road comes up fast to meet them
As they cross that north Georgia line
A rush of wind runs its fingers through her hair
Reminding her of summers
As a girl in Tennessee
She looks at him and falls asleep

Instrumental and Chorus

Vs.4
We both seen the water come down
From the top of old Abram?s falls
From up there we said our own kind of vows
The morning light was shaking off the leaves of amber-gold
Water telling stories of old
