lyrics

Allie Mae, the black-eyed girl
Everybody knows from the side of the road
Make your money selling newspapers on Sundays
You always spend your most on cheap wine

Allie Mae went to school
Everybody’s girl who told the jokes and broke the rules
She had a princess smile but some are gone now
Curtsy for the boys that you can’t marry now

When you’re two steps closer to death
And you’re one step closer to my door
Stars they shine all day
But, at midnight they won’t turn to Allie Mae
Oh, Allie Mae

Allie Mae sleeps in water paints
This girl is too deep to be out on the streets
Wait, I remember the card you wrote to me in second grade
It was Valentine’s Day
A heart for two on a lifeline
Was that me?
Or was it you?

Allie Mae in her laced up boots
A John is on the phone
Cigarettes and mascara blues
In a motel room with the undercover blinds
Porno on the t.v.
Mama’s little girl make up your mind

When you’re two steps closer to death
And you’re one step closer to my door
Stars they shine all day
But at midnight they won’t turn to
Allie Mae
Allie Mae
Oh, Al
Oh, Al
