Backstory:

Dan and I started out with the hook, Justified, and wanted to give the song an edge. Not sure how we ended up where we went, but it became a story song about a sister/friend helping her sister/friend escape from an abusive relationship.

Lyrics:

                                                  
Justified

There’s a road sign in my headlights
Full of bullet holes and predictions
Says if we can make it 10 more miles
We can hide out in the old town mission
He kept my sister bruised and battered
I left him bleeding on the floor
Judge won’t see it my way
But I made peace with the lord

Chorus:
I’m Justified
He’s just a bad man
Eye for an eye
So the good book says 
We’re gonna ride
Like two bats out of hell 
I know damn well wrong from right
I’m justified

She’s lying in the backseat
Scared but she’s still breathing
I know a short cut cross the border
On that long road to freedom
I see the blue lights in my rearview
They don’t scare me anymore
I got Reba coming out the radio
And the peddle to the floor


Bridge:
Sometimes you got to fight fire with ice 
Mean with nasty, fists with knives
A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do
To survive
