Spoiled Generation - 2022 Remaster

She looks for her pillow left ditched in the desert
He shouts loud, "Get in now I'll buy you a new one."
She leaves out of courtesy thinkin' this phase will pass
She knows he hasn't got much cash

Driving for hours sitting so close together
He asks her the question, "Why is it you never smile?"
She answers, "No reason." Then turns her head away
As tears come down from her eyes

Miles away, at a distant gas station
Out bumming a quarter from a trucker in a stall
She sneaks 'round the corner with scared, shaky fingers
And dials a homeward call

Speechless she pauses as a caring voice answers
"Is it you angel, are you okay?" drops straight to her heart
But a hand from behind her clicks down the receiver
Letting her know she's been caught

Her mother and father are missing a daughter
"How could our angel leave us, she was only 19?"
A Spoiled Generation, adults with no growing pains
Just sharing the nest

Raised to be honest, but no longer a virgin
She tells him the whole story and almost gets beat
I knew he was no good, she didn't listen
But then again, why should she listen to me

Why should she listen to me

I just play music, I write songs and sing them
She thinks I'm so foolish, I feel differently
If I go straight to hell, she'll be there just as well
Playing in the fire with me

Her folks used to hate to see us together
But that need to be taken away poured from her eyes
Maybe I was a threat with my hair and my guitar
But now they apologize, now they apologize

They're so far away now and I hear she's a kept woman
Four years have passed, yeah but when we all drink
We remember our sweethearts, how somebody steals them away
From all but our memory

The aches and the pains of this Spoiled Generation
Our lovers are like parents, and our parents are like friends
With nowhere to guide us, yeah but it doesn't really matter
Until we're out on our own raising up kids in a home
Spoiling them then moving them along

Never to be left alone
