|
Well, this is how it starts, two lovers in the dark |
|
On the run from the one that they call Sheriff Spark |
|
Six-gun's by their side and bullets 'round their waists |
|
Two shots to the sky, signal sound for the chase |
|
The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free |
|
But were seen by the good eye of the mean Billy Greene |
|
And he screamed at the top of his lungs, "They're on the run! |
|
It's the two outsiders! Grab your horses and your guns!" |
|
I said I wish that we could stay here |
|
But I fear our time has come |
|
We can ride out in the darkness |
|
Chasin' the risin' sun |
|
We gotta pack our bags this instant |
|
We're headin' southbound 'til the next town |
|
And if we arrive there s-safely |
|
Baby, you can lay me down |
|
Lay me down |
|
Lay me down |
|
Lay me down |
|
Well, that's the story of the two, always on the move |
|
They got nothin' left to lose 'cept their guns and their wounds |
|
Now they're crossin' borders, sheriff's posse on their tail |
|
They'd rather die together than be stuck up in a cell |
|
They drank up all the whiskey and they partied every night |
|
Like it could be the last, the bounty said to "shoot on sight" |
|
So they chased the endless summer, knew it came with a price |
|
They wouldn't stop runnin' 'til they found a paradise |
|
But the sheriff finally found 'em with his eyes seein' red |
|
So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead |
|
They were finally free to find a place to lay their heads |
|
And when they finally did, he looked at her and then he said |
|
I said I think that we can stay here |
|
'Cause I feel our time has come |
|
And we can walk down to the ocean |
|
And sit with the risin' sun |
|
So unpack your bags this instant |
|
No more runnin' from town to town |
|
And now that we've arrived s-safely |
|
Baby, you can lay me down |
|
Lay me down |
|
Lay me down |
|
Lay me down |
|
Well, you my green-eyed girl and I been runnin' around with you |
|
It's the afternoon and we got nothin' left to do |
|
So wipe the dirt off, oh, take your shirt off |
|
And we should go hit the cantina, we got work off |
|
I said it's hot outside, let me go swimmin' in your eyes |
|
We been runnin' for a while, won't you lay down make me smile? |
|
I could never ask for nothin' better than this |
|
It's just tequila and the beach, it's quite salty when we kiss |
|
I said I think that we can stay here |
|
'Cause I feel our time has come |
|
And we can walk down to the ocean |
|
And sit with the risin' sun |
|
So unpack your bags this instant |
|
No more runnin' from town to town |
|
And now that we've arrived s-safely |
|
Baby, you can lay me down |
|
Lay me down |
|
Lay me down |
|
Lay me down |
|
Lay me down |
