She came up on the outskirts of town
Down in southern New Orleans
Parents vanished, all strung out
Left alone down in the streets
Love can feel like strange things
Love up above
Love can feel like strange things
Even left alone no no no no
She knew her way out to La
On the day she turned 18
Hitch her way out old 68
Never knowing she'd been so free
Love can feel like strange things
Love up above
Love can feel like strange things
Even left alone no no no no
10 months go by
And her boyfriend dies
He grew up hard like me
Johnnys headed out to sea now
Love can feel like strange things
Love up above
Love can feel like strange things
Even left alone no no no no
