Poetry

The day little Jessica ran away
she took the Greyhound heading for the beach
the sun was shining all day,

wanting to live totally out of reach
she had lost her boyfriend, saw him kissing another girl once
she took the Greyhound heading for the beach

while she wanted to cry, to hiss and pounce
as they drove past the church before she was gone
she had lost her boyfriend; saw him kissing another girl once

and the bus drove out of town on and on
past some farm boys on horses in the field,
as they drove past the church before she was gone

Jessica was hurt and did not want to yield,
Jessica was waving them goodbye,
past some farm boys on horses in the field

and she saw the sun yellow in a cobalt blue sky.
The day little Jessica ran away,
Jessica was waving them goodbye,
the sun was shining all day.
