Up from Louisiana all the way to Pennsylvania.
Her muffler gave a bark so cupids ear could follow.
Through the farm lands and the cities.
Near the Delaware Gap.

On the day she met her maker she said,
"Lord, I really loved him".
He said "Sorry dear, honey dear but he never really loved you.
I put that great river between you

And left up to you to venture 'cross".
So now up from Louisiana all the way to Pennsylvania.
Her muffler gave a bark so cupids ear could follow.
Through the farm lands and the cities.
Near the Delaware gap.

She went up north to put her heart on her sleeve.
Hand over her whole history - to him.
Down from Dickson City all the way to Lake Charles.
Her muffler gave a bark, now rusted and defeated.
Through the farm lands and the cities.
'Cross the great Mississippi.

On the day she met her maker she said,
"Lord, I really loved him".
He said "Sorry dear, honey dear but he never really loved you.
I put that great river between you and left up to you to venture
'cross".
So now down from Dickson City all the way to Lake Charles.
Her muffler gave a bark, now rusted and defeated.

Hand over all thought of him - to the wind.
