Lonnie & Josie

Me and Lonnie from down a Cadillac
Outside the Laredo in the heat of the sun
The driver was tanned and he looked like a salesman
We were just children on the run

He talked real funny like we never heard
Must have been foreign I guess
And I felt like an actress is an old, old movie
As Lonnie and I drove away

We were saying goodbye to the ones left behind
Hello to the ones up ahead
Lonnie and me were just running on East
While the radio Deejay said
Keep your eyes open for Lonnie and Josie
Sixteen and fourteen playing hockey from school
Last seen they were walking the road
By the courtroom downtown the Laredo
At a quarter past two

Our friend in the front seat
Turned around and smiled
Grinning and shaking his head
Asked us politely where we were going
Where the sand turns to sea on the coast I said
We were crossing the border just out of Texas
Past the last dusty abandoned old farm
With the A.M. playing songs of Sinatra
Lonnie sleeping in my arms

We were saying goodbye to the ones left behind
Hello to the ones up ahead
Lonnie and me were just running on East
While the radio Deejay said
Keep your eyes open for Lonnie and Josie
Sixteen and fourteen playing hockey from school
Last seen they were walking the road
By the courtroom downtown the Laredo
At a quarter past two

Keep your eyes open for Lonnie and Josie
Keep your eyes open for Lonnie and Josie
At a quarter past two
Keep your eyes open for Lonnie and Josie
Keep your eyes open for Lonnie and Josie...
