She flips back to shut ters,

G
Seven years gone by
Dm
C
A stranger kicked her door in
G
with a gun held high
Dm
C
While rain kept pouring
G
and drowned her cries
Dm
C
He raped her from midnight
Em
till he saw the splittered sun
A
C
light through the trees
Dm
And the day hit 99 degrees

G
There was no arrest,
Dm
C
not much investigation,
G
no charges pressed
Dm
C
And no compensation
G
for her shredded dress
Dm
C
Her spirit bruised and broken,
Em
A
C
her heart full of unspoken memories
G
So the church bell chimes
Dm
C
For all the ragged sisters
G
And the red sun shines
Dm
C
The house paint blisters
G
And the mercury climbs
Dm
C
The temperature's so vicious
Em
She wrings her hands
A
C
And wishes it would freeze
Csus2
But it's almost 99 degrees

G
She's too dug in to leave,
Dm
C
too free to have a plan,
G
too tired to grieve
Dm
C
And too young to un derstand
G
why she can't believe
Dm
C
In the never never land
Em
A
or ask the weatherman for guarantees
C
G
At the alibi
Dm
C
She keeps her nightly vigil
G
Fancy boys walk by
Dm
All vain and superficial
C
G
But still they try
Dm
C
And wind up in frustration
Em
A
C
She gets her reputation as a tease
But her blood runs 99 degrees

G
One night he blows in,
Dm
C
he sits there and eyes her
Csus2
G
over ten slow gins
Dm
C
He don't recognize her
G
but she knows him,
Dm
and waits for him outside
C
Em
And she offers him a ride
Am
C
and he agrees
G
Now her high beams shine,
C
G
high along the ridge above the timber line
Dm
G
C
As they cross the one lane bridge
G
he hears the engine whine
Dm
C
His fin gers clutch the vinyl,
Em
A
C
her smile is the fi nal thing he sees
Csus2
C
Dm
As she turns the wheel 99 degrees

Just two more drunken drivers
