[00:21.63] When Tanya and Joe set out on open road
[00:27.15] No one thought she'd ever be back
[00:35.69] It takes a village to show
[00:39.10] It's children how to grow
[00:42.84] But the weak are still driven from the pack
[00:50.23] They met in de-tox seems so many years ago
[00:57.42] Her bane was booze, his was methadone
[01:04.54] They realised you can't fight that shit with lies
[01:11.80] That's when they started to roam
[01:20.57]
[01:33.67] She'd been pierced, he tattooed waist to head
[01:40.61] Both bore the brand of outsiders
[01:47.91] Dodging police cars
[01:51.01] With bridges for a bed
[01:54.89] They rode the Western sky, dark riders
[02:01.97] It wasn't that simple, but better than back home
[02:09.09] Far better than the expectations and the curse
[02:16.58] Once they were beaten but mostly they made love
[02:23.45] In fields of the universe
[02:32.01]
[02:45.25] One summer night under silvery moon
[02:52.22] Policemen, looking for a man
[02:59.52] A veteran whose daughter
[03:02.78] Had died from the spoon
[03:06.33] Careless bullet found Tanya as she ran
[03:13.52] Now Joe's still vagrant and he curses all of those
[03:21.38] Who took Tanya back to be buried with her kin
[03:27.78] She wanted her ashes tossed on a river that flowed
[03:34.91] Anywhere she had never been
