I made a daring escape

In the guise of a nun

A farmer's daughter gave me something to eat

I stole a paper just to see

A picture of me

F E F E F
By the skin of my teeth

I fell asleep between the truckers
F E F E F
Sprawled across the seats

I see your face everywhere I go
E F E F
In every café, watering hole

What is the hold you've got on me
