Lyrics

She had one arm out the window
He had one hand on the wheel
Through Oklahoma, through the night
In a '62 Oldsmobile
They were headed down to Austin
Rolling out of Louisville
Chasing threadbare dreams and lies
The way some people will

[CHORUS] Color inside the lines (2x)

They were taught since they were children
Color just inside the lines
If you'll follow my directions
Then you'll follow my design
There are others who are not like us
They're not like you and me
We don't want them in our neighborhoods
Or in our families

CHORUS

But when our star-crossed lovers met
They understood it's all been lies
Nothing ever told the truth
Like looking in each others eyes
And all that hate's for little souls
Little hearts and little minds
If you're thinking for yourself
Sometimes the past gets left behind

She had one arm out the window
He had one hand on the wheel
Through Oklahoma, through the night
In a '62 Oldsmobile
