Take what's yours and go 
While you still can 
While it's still dark outside
Before he's cold

Law man come into your broken home
Hide the hammer 
Draw the blinds 
Grab the little one and go

You've got 16 miles of wasteland
Left to go

Hike up your skirt now you better
Run girl run
Hike up your skirt now you better 
Run girl run
Before they find out what you've done
Before they find out what you've done
You'd better run girl run


Like his big hard hand
Ripped up your hope
Ripped up your dress

This was your empire 
O queen of all that's pure
Until he broke your crown 
Burned your kingdom down

You've got 16 miles of wasteland
Left to go

Hike up your skirt now you better
Run girl run
Hike up your skirt now you better
Run girl run 
Before they find out what you've done
Before they find out what you've done
You better run girl run
