Ms. Hawkins

Miss Hawkins, Miss Hawkins, do you remember me?

I used to ride by your house every single day in 1983

Miss Hawkins, Miss Hawkins, I lived on the dead end street

Down by them railroad tracks at the edge of 14

And I remember Buford and how he

Would chase me to the edge of the yard

You'd stand on the front porch hollering

Buford will watch for cars

Miss Hawkins, Miss Hawkins

I was just eight years old

And I was handy on my huffy

Allowing me to be in control

Miss Hawkins, Miss Hawkins

I will never forget that day

What made Beaufort change his battle

Playing pennies is back Give a chance Well I threw my

Chest over my handlebar and I threw my hips into the air

I hit Jackson Street as hard as I could hit it

I wish you had a few fur to spare

Miss Hawkins, Miss Hawkins

Today I pulled my dog from the road

And my son was beside me with tears in his eyes

He too just eight years old

Miss Hawkins, Miss Hawkins

My heart had just broken too

And my emotions jumped on a roller coaster

Took me straight back to you

Miss Hawkins, Miss Hawkins

Do you remember me?

I used to ride by your house

Every single day in 1983
