She tells her reflection

A stranger kicked her door in
Bb
with a gun held high

While rain kept pouring

and drowned her cries

He raped her from midnight
Gm
till he saw the splittered sun

light through the trees

And the day hit 99 degrees

There was no arrest,

Eb
not much investigation,

Eb
And no compensation
Bb
for her shredded dress
Fm
Eb
Her spirit bruised and broken,
Gm
C
Eb
her heart full of unspoken memories
Bb
So the church bell chimes
Fm
Eb
For all the ragged sis ters
Bb
And the red sun shines
Fm
Eb
The house paint blisters
Bb
And the mercury climbs
Fm
Eb
The temperature's so vicious
Gm
She wrings her hands
C
Eb
And wishes it would freeze
Ebsus2
But it's almost 99 degrees

She's too dug in to leave,
Fm
Eb
too free to have a plan,

And too young to un derstand
Bb
why she can't believe
Fm
Eb
In the never never land
Gm
C
or ask the weatherman for guarantees
Eb
Bb
At the alibi

Eb
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,
Fm
Eb
he sits there and eyes her
Ebsus2

over ten slow gins

He don't recognize her

and waits for him outside
Eb
Gm
And she offers him a ride
Cm
Eb
and he agrees
Bb
Now her high beams shine,
Eb
Bb
high along the ridge above the timber line
Fm

Eb
As they cross the one lane bridge
Bb
he hears the engine whine
Fm
Eb
His fin gers clutch the vinyl,
Gm
C
Eb
her smile is the fi nal thing he sees
Ebsus2
Eb
Fm
As she turns the wheel 99 degrees
