It's her 18th birthday and she's packed to leave
Gonna ask for two one-way tickets please
She's been avoiding him for years
Waiting for this day to come

She says come on mumma you can't stay here
Let's go get on a train and disappear
We won't get off until we can finally breathe

Oh someday we can wonder why
But for now, come with me we'll go
Home

20 plus years no wonder you're tired
But mumma you still got a lotta fight
And you wouldn't want me out there all alone

Five years of saving from summer jobs
No calling in sick or taking days off
So hurry up now before he comes on home

Oh somewhere out there over the horizon
Is our brand new life that we design

You've paid the price
For a teen in love
The time is now and we're gonna run
It's you and me
Like Thelma and Louise

We'll build that picket fence around our new house
Play the dixie chicks turned up nice and loud
And our photos in frames
won't be there just for show

Oh someday we can wonder why
But for now come with me we'll go
Home

I know you've had that dream for another try
Of turning back the clock
You've lived with that regret for a thousand nights
But now he's your fresh start

And he's going to be kind
And when he takes you by the hand
He will give you butterflies
Free falling

Cause his mumma raised him right
And love sometimes takes it time
But now no more sleepless nights

Free falling

You've paid the price
For a teen in love
Mum the time is now and we've gotta run
It's you and me
Like Thelma and Louise

We'll build that picket fence around our new house
Play the Dixie Chicks turned up nice and loud
And our photos in frames
Won't be there just for show

We'll live in fear no more
And together we'll take control
So come with me we'll go
Home

Come on mum let's go on home
