lyrics

i heard you were a dreamer, child
you didn't have a plan
i heard you were a drifter
looking for a place to land
how could you have known
you were just babe
that all those tears you cried
would take decades to fade

oh, rilla mae
won't you come out to play
your ma & pa are okay
don't throw your love away
oh, rilla mae

your baby's face is dirty
and he's playing by the tracks
it's not your fault you were forgotten
everybody turned their backs
if only someone loved you
the way you needed from the start
if only someone knew how
to protect your little heart

on the banks of a muddy river
in a car going too fast
you came to meet your maker
still you echo in my past

it's alright to be a wanderer
anybody can get lost
sometimes i think i know you
though our paths have never crossed
so let me take your little hand
don't you see that we're alright
you know darkness begets darkness
so step out into the light, step out
oh, rilla mae
