1
Her hair was dyed black and she was bending down
2
Picking something from off the ground
3
She was seventeen
4
And he said, "Oh my God, it's Kate"
5
She said "No, I'm the daughter of Kate
6
My name is Martha, who are you?
7
Ma never told me, never told me 'bout you"
8
He put his big middle-aged hands upon her shoulders
9
And he looked her in the eyes
10
Just like a boy of nineteen would do
11
And she was not afraid
12
No, she was not afraid
13
Once upon a time two kids in love in a car were flyin' over mountains
14
Trying to catch a boat that'd take 'em up river to home...
15
And they raced the Matapedia
16
Sixty minutes sixty miles
17
Thirty minutes thirty miles
18
Twenty minutes twenty miles
19
Ten nine eight....
20
And I was not afraid
21
No, I was not afraid
22
Well we made the boat with minutes to spare
23
And we crossed on over to the other side
24
And back home, safe and sound
25
But I could not slow down
26
No, I could not slow down
27
And we raced the Matapedia
28
Sixty minutes sixty miles
29
Thirty minutes thirty miles
30
Twenty minutes twenty miles
31
Ten nine eight
32
But I could not slow down
33
No, I could not slow down
34
I was not afraid
35
No, I was not afraid
36
I could not slow down 'cause I was not afraid
