Ricochet

She was a pretty girl, yes she was, everybody's darling
Her daddy kept a pretty close eye on her
When the boys all started calling
She was a wild one, yes she was, her daddy couldn't tame her
She rode fast and hard, her mama couldn't blame her

She'd go out in a pretty dress then change to boots and jeans
Kiss the boys and satisfy 'em at the drive-in movie screen
She'd go... Ricochet

A guy drove in a hot rod car, a tight black leather jacket
She climbed in and they drove off, we haven't seen her back yet
Her daddy hasn't been quite the same since then
The window shades are drawn
I heard tell he beat the hell out of mama and now she's gone

She drove off in the dead of night while he was passed out in a chair
The road became a friend to her and the wind blew back her hair
She went... Ricochet

Oh, this story's got a moral boys, but no happy ending
Like some old black and white drama film on light night television
A wayward girl, a drunkard dad, and long-time suffering mama
Played by Natalie Wood, Lee J. Cobb, and a roughed up Shelley Winters

The daughter's now living in a double-wide with a disconnected phone
She works nights waiting tables at the roadhouse
And she rarely sleeps alone
And she goes... Ricochet
