Take what's yours and go
While you still can
While it's still dark outside
Before he's cold.
Lawmen coming to your broken home
Hide the hammer
Draw the blinds
Grab the little one and go.
Chorus:
You've 16 miles of wasteland left to go.
Hike up your skirt now
You better run, girl, run.
Hike up your skirt now
You better run, girl, run.
Before they find out what you've done.
Before they find out what you've done.
You better run, girl, run.
Truth smashed into your face
Like his big, hard, hand.
Ripped up your heart
Ripped up your dress.
This was your empire
O Queen of all that's pure
Until he broke your crown
Burned your kingdom down.
Chorus:
You've 16 miles of wasteland left to go.
Hike up your skirt now
You better run, girl, run.
Hike up your skirt now
You better run, girl, run.
Before they find out what you've done.
Before they find out what you've done.
You better run, girl, run.
You've got 16 miles of wasteland left to go
Before the morning comes
You've got 16 miles of wasteland left to go
Hike up your skirt now
You better run, girl, run.
Hike up your skirt now
You better run, girl, run.
Before they find out what you've done.
Before they find out what you've done.
You better run, girl, run.
You better run, girl, run.
You better run, girl, run.
You better run, girl, run.
