Young Girls

(album: Brickyard Road - 1990)

Young girls out on the street
Late night with nowhere to sleep
Running away nothing's at home
Carrie she packed up her dreams
Truth is more than it seems
Cold hard facts are scary face to face

But she's too caught up
And the fantasy won't let go
Sooner or later something is gonna break
She'll find out the hard way

Young girls know what to do
Show up in red and end up wearing blue
Young girls, no it ain't nothing new
Don't know when to leave it alone

Desperate she follows the lights
To get by just one more night
She'd give anything
To have it the way it was

Well, she's too caught up
And the fantasy won't let go
Sooner or later something is gonna break
She'll find out the hard way

Young girls know what to do
Show up in red and end up wearing blue
Young girls, no it ain't nothing new
Don't know when to leave it alone

Young girls, no one to catch you
When you fall
Young girls they'll find out the hard way

Young girls know what to do
Show up in red and end up wearing blue
Young girls, no it ain't nothing new
Don't know when to leave it alone
