(Johnny Van Zant - Erik Lundgren - Robert White Johnson)



Young girls out on the street

Late night with nowhere to sleep

Runnin' 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 somethin' is gonna break

She'll find out the hard way.



Chorus:

Young girls know what to do

Show up in red and end up wearin' blue

Young girls, no it ain't nothin' 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 somethin' is gonna break

She'll find out the hard way.



Young girls know what to do

Show up in red and end up wearin' blue

Young girls, no it ain't nothin' 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.



Chorus:

Young girls know what to do

Show up in red and end up wearin' blue

Young girls, no it ain't nothin' new

Don't know when to leave it alone...
