Oh, there was a time when she'd lie in the grass
And imagine the places she'd never go
There, there all alone she would pleasure herself
With thoughts of a man that she'd never know
Lyin' there, she made a promise that one day she'd run
And find just the man she was lookin' for
Well, she fell in love with that son of a gun
But he was not the man that she took him for

When he came to town he came ramblin' in
On a great cloud of dust carried by the wind
Oh, it wasn't long before he pulled her in
And he asked her to come run away with him
He saw a pretty young girl who was ready to run
And she saw just the chance she'd been lookin' for
Well, she fell in love with that son of a gun
But he was not the man that she took him for

They headed out west
Drivin' into the sun
And he promised her she was the only one
Well, he was a thief and he'd steal just for fun
He'd go cruisin' around with his little gun
He ran afoul of the law and decided to run
And he left her alone with their little one
Well, she was in love with that son of a gun
And the story between them wasn't done

When she finds him
She will make him regret he was ever born
When she finds him
She will make him regret he was ever born
When she finds him
She will make him regret he was ever born
When she finds him
She will make him regret he was ever born
