Lyrics: Indigo Girls. Sister.

:
Sister I'm heading out of Alabama so you better think fast
The wind is gonna pick me up now and the rain won't slack
I'm heading down to Georgia so don't lose track
Of where you've been and where you're going now, who you've seen and what they lack
And why you come undone
Every time you go there
You come undone

I know your heart's in danger
And so is your life
I said you learn to trust a stranger
And stop and rest for the night
Set your sight up in the headlight
Well the moon won't be enough
And light the embers of another
And the night won't seem so rough
Sister

There was a bloody beast of burden on a dark Texas road (I wish I was a mother with a baby at my breast)
A woman in the family way and a car that lost control (But I am just a poor woman with a milk cow and a mess)
I'm studying the distance between the blanket and the gun (I wish I was a mother with a baby at my breast
I got ten hours to Natchez and another ten home (But I am just a poor woman with a milk cow and a mess)
Well I'm goin home

I know your heart's in danger
And so is your life
I say learn to trust a stranger
And stop and rest for the night
Set your sight up in the headlight
The moon won't be enough
And light the embers of another
And the night won't seem so rough
Sister
Go ahead, I said come on
Yeah

I said it's trust that brought me here
And trust will bring me home
