Steal Away (Too Many Red Jeep Cherokees)
Words and Music by John Turner/ Copyright 2001Clever Cat Music (ASCAP)

Too many red jeep cherokees
driving round this town
Teasing me to think maybe
she?s still around
I keep thinking maybe I?ll see her
behind a steering wheel
But I?m only disappointed
?cause I know
she had to steal away

Steal away
Steal away

You know she called me late last night
quarter after two
How I?d longed to hear her voice
but it still sounded new
She said she wondered if this old town
was missing her very much
I hope I didn?t disappoint her
?cause all I said
was that I miss her touch

Lately I?ve been pacing between
the nail holes in these walls
Looking back on little lies
I hung all over her
Funny how in hindsight
I would?ve changed my world
for just a little more time
a little more time with her

These days I?m wondering
has she forgotten me for good
I lay awake some nights thinkin?
maybe I should
hop a flight to meet her
where ever she might be
but I?m only disappointed
?cause I know
she?s already said goodbye to me

Too many red jeep cherokees
driving round this town
Teasing me to think maybe
she?s still around
I keep thinking maybe I?ll see her
behind a steering wheel
But I?m only disappointed
?cause I know
she had to steal away

Steal away
Steal away
