Wildcat
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When they talked, her eyes
Were wide as a wildcat's in the night
She seemed so hard-pressed for air
So he calmed her and smoothed her hair
They sat under the carport light
Then they kissed and held each other tight
Their hearts held a thousand stars
Trembling in her small town yard
He had a plan to slip away
She said "not tonight, it's okay
Things inside me will run their course
And if I'm not here it would get much worse
It could all come down on my sister,"
He'll worry and miss her
But he knows when cornered
A wildcat will fight
Those born foreign to flight, they say
Teenage kids can't get it right
They don't know some older sisters
He'll worry and miss her
But he knows when cornered a wildcat
He'll worry and miss her
But he knows when cornered
A wildcat will fight
