Grace was the preacher's only daughter
Raised on prayers and holy water
But she saw the dust on a stranger's boots
And wanted to dig up her shallow roots
Now they're runnin' where the blacktop ends Leavin' behind her father's hymns
With the devil's wind blowin' in her hair She don't look back
'cause he's waitin' there
Preacher stood on the wooden porch steps
Holdin' his bible and holdin' his breath
But the headlights cut through the county line
Leaving a trail of dust and pine
Now they're runnin' where the blacktop ends Leavin' behind her father's hymns
With the devil's wind blowin' in her hair She don't look back
'cause he's waitin' there
Running fast, running free...
Yeah, she's gone with the wind
(gone,
gone)
