text: Me and Lonnie thumbed down a Cadillac
  Outside Laredo in the heat of the sun
  The driver was tanned and he looked like a salesman
  We were just children on the run
  He talked real funny like wed never heard
  Must have been foreign I guess
  And I felt like an actress in an old movie
  As Lonnie and I drove west
  We were saying goodbye to the ones left behind
  Hello to the ones up ahead
  Lonnie and me were just drumming our knees
  While the radio D.J. said
  Keep your eyes open for Lonnie and Josie
  Sixteen and fourteen, playing hooky from school
  Last seen they were walking the road by the courtroom
  Downtown Laredo at a quarter past two
  Our friend in the front seat turned around and smiled
  Grinning and shaking his head
  Asked us politely where we were going
  Where the sand turns to sea on the coast, I said
  We were crossing the border just out of Texas
  Passed the last dusty abandoned old farm
  With the AM playing the songs of Sinatra
  And Lonnie sleeping in my arms
