Lyrics:

Late night on a back road and my ride had broken down
I see a light off in the distance a long long way from town
Half a mile later I'm knockin' on the door
She answered in her cut offs and my jaw just hit the floor
She said 'you look so cold, why not come inside?'
I think I just struck gold

No way out, a voice in my head said you should've known better
No way out, it's too good to believe
No way out, when morning came I wish I never would've met her
Now here comes daddy with a gun in hand
And I don't think he's gonna understand

I take off through the front yard hear 'em pump that ole 12 gauge
She says daddy don't you shoot him, but don't let him get away
I run into the sheriff, hallelujah I've been saved, he says:
'Where you think you're goin' son, we got plans for you today'
She said 'get on your knees' - think I'm in trouble now
'You're gonna marry me' - I've gotta get away somehow
Can't go off in the night, 'cause poppa's gun just might

No way out, a voice in my head said you should've known better
No way out, I can never leave
No way out, help me Lord I wish I never would've met her
And daddy's sitting with a gun in hand
He said 'The preacher's comin' just as fast as he can'
No way out, a voice in my head said you should've known better
No way out, ooh, I was no naïve
No way out, help me Lord I wish I never would've met her
A lesson learned and it goes to show
Don't break down on an old back road
