Eastbound

He was her golden ticket out of that one horse town.... Behind that U-haul was her '79 Pinto and they were heading Eastbound.... He was a blond haired pretty boy who could tell her nothing but his lies.... She was just a kid of 19 with big dreams in her green eyes... She worked 2 jobs to pay the rent and hoped he would remember to come home.... He would stumble in around 3 am with that smile and say " sorry honey, I couldn't find a phone"... As time went by and more lies followed, she started to not come home... Now it was finally her turn to smile and say " sorry honey, I couldn't find a phone"....
