When they talked her eyes were wide As a wildcat's in the night She seemed so hard pressed for air So he calmed her and smoothed her hair They sat under the carport light Then they kissed and held eachother tight Their hearts held a thousand stars Trembling in her small town yard He had a plan to slip away She said no, tonight it's okay. Things inside me will run their course. And if i'm not there it would get much worse It could all come down on my sister He'll worry and miss her But he knows when cornered A wildcat will fight Those born foreign to flight, they say Teenage kids can't get it right They don't know soem older sisters He'll worry and miss her But he knows when cornered a wildcat He'll worry and miss her But he knows when cornered A wildcat will fight
