Buddy gota tank of gas
Rolling along in a top-down chevy
Calls out as she's walking past
Thumbing a ride on the way
'Hey tell me where you're going
Lolita what's your name?'
Her face is an open book
A story to tell with a heart so heavy
Dark days and stormy nights picking apart her seams
She says 'don't know where l'm going but you don't wanna mess with me'

Lolita keeps on walking, cool as a refrigerator
But Buddy ain't done talking, pulls up to the sidewalk
Leans in and whispers hey
Blow out, you ain't gonna get very far before you you
Blow out Lolita who do you think you are?
Blow out, girl you're no kinda superstar you're just a
Blow out Lolita
Who do you think you are?

Heading out from Nеw York City
Open road and westward headеd
A thousand miles to Mississippi
Home of the delta blues
She ain't got nobody, ain't got nothing left to lose
Going where the sun don't quit
The air is grey and the stars shine nightly
Where palm trees and coconuts
Hang in the ocean spray
Escape to paradise is half a world away
As Lolita keeps on walking
And the road keeps winding on forever
The voice inside her head, speaking out a warning
Draws her in and whispers
Lolita keeps on walking, cool as a refrigerator
But Buddy ain't done talking, pulls up to the sidewalk
Leans in and whispers hey

Blow out, you ain't gonna get very far before you you
Blow out Lolita who do you think you are?
Blow out, girl you're no kinda superstar you're just a
Blow out Lolita
Who do you think you are?
Lolita who's gonna save you, save you?
Lolita out on the open road
Lolita girl you're gonna blow out

Driving out to Salt Lake City
Blue skies and westward headed
2000 miles from Mississippi
Top down in Buddy's chevy
But Buddy's nowhere to be seen
Her face is an open book
A story to tell with a heart so heavy
Dark days and stormy nights are falling away like like leaves
Lolita nobody knows the secret that you keep
Lolita, Lolita what's the secret that you keep?
