Corrina Gets Away

See Corrina in the backyard
shimmering soft in the August light
a train whistles in the distance
and the sun crawls up the morning sky
see Corrina cross the tracks
hear the big train roar
I'm lookin' for that girl, I can't find her any more.

My Corrina, my Corrina
she always gets away.

See Corrina in the headlights
smiling crazy by the side of the road
fireflies glow in the treetops
and a distant thunder rolls
see Corrina jump the ditch
when the lightnin' flash
she is runnin' through the fields only once glancin' back.

My Corrina, my Corrina
she always gets away.

I learned to love her
but I can't learn to let her go.

See Corrina in the river
muddy ripples runnin' 'round her skin
sun shafts wave underwater
silver bubbles all through her hair
I feel the cool water rush
all around my head
I am climbin' up for air I can't see her anywhere.

My Corrina, my Corrina
Corrina gets away.
Corrina gets away.
