Seven years gone by

A stranger kicked her door in

While rain kept pouring

He raped her from midnight

light through the trees

And the day hit 99 degrees

There was no arrest,

not much investigation,

And no compensation
Dm

Her spirit bruised and broken,
Em
A
C
her heart full of unspoken memories
G
So the church bell chimes
Dm

For all the ragged sisters

The house paint blisters

The temperature's so vicious

She wrings her hands

And wishes it would freeze

But it's almost 99 degrees

She's too dug in to leave,
Dm
C
too free to have a plan,
Dm

And too young to un derstand

In the never never land
Em
A
or ask the weatherman for guarantees
C
G
At the alibi

She keeps her nightly vigil

All vain and superficial

But still they try

And wind up in frustration

She gets her reputation as a tease
But her blood runs 99 degrees

One night he blows in,
Dm

he sits there and eyes her
Csus2

over ten slow gins

He don't recognize her

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
