Taken from the album AM Waves.

Lolita

Buddy got a 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 where I'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 New York City, open road and westward headed
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, hey

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
[ 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 from Salt Lake City, blue skies and westward heading
2000 miles from Mississippii, ready to live the dream
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
the dark days and stormy nights are falling away like leaves
Lolita nobody knows the secret that you keep
Lolita, Lolita what's the secret that you keep?
