Rural Route Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Little girl disappeared and gone 

From the rural route 

Seven days missing something's wrong 

On the rural route 

Amber alert all over the nation 

From the rural route 

Two lane highway full of cops 

On the rural route 

Rural route

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Police dogs howl from wire cages 

On the rural route 

Last seen leavin' a trailer 

On the rural route 

Just walkin' home alone 

On the rural route 

Newspaper prints her fifth grade picture 

From the rural route 

Rural route 

Air stinks of crystal meth 

On the rural route 

Some one predicts a young girl's death 

On the rural route 

Father refuses to answer any questions 

From the rural route 

The man he runs around with comes up missing 

Off the rural route 

Rural route 

Photos 

Twenty miles away by a lake 

On the rural route 

Girl's body's found, it's been raped 

By the rural route 

Twenty-eight year old friend of the father 

Arrested on the rural route 

Father traded his daughter for favors 

On the rural route 

Rural route 

Rural route 

Here's my prayer loud and clear 

From the rural route 

Forgive us Lord, get us out of here 

Off this rural route 

Oh merciful Father, show us the will 

Here on the rural route 

Give us the mercy for the drug-addicted 

And the mentally ill 

On the rural route
