When they talked, her eyes

Were wide as a wildcat's in the night

She seemed so hard-pressed for air

So he calmed her and smoothed her hair

They sat under the carport light

Then they kissed and held each other tight

Their hearts held a thousand stars

Trembling in her small town yard



He had a plan to slip away

She said "not tonight, it's okay

Things inside me will run their course

And if I'm not here it would get much worse

It could all come down on my sister,"



He'll worry and miss her

But he knows when cornered

A wildcat will fight

Those born foreign to flight, they say

Teenage kids can't get it right

They don't know some older sisters



He'll worry and miss her

But he knows when cornered a wildcat

He'll worry and miss her

But he knows when cornered

A wildcat will fight
