Well this is how it starts two lovers in the dark
On the run from the one that they call Sheriff Sparks
Six guns by the side and bullets round their waist
Two shots to the sky signal sound for the chase
The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free
But was seen by the wood eye of the mean Billy Greene
And he screamed at the top of his lungs theyre on the run!
Its the two outsiders grab yer holsters and yer guns!
I said I wish that we could stay here
But I fear our time has come
Oh we can ride out in the darkness
Chasing the rising sun
We gotta pack our bags this instant
Were heading southbound to the next town
And if we arrive there so safely
Baby you can lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
Well its the story of the two always on the move
They got nothing left to lose cept their guns and they wounds
Now theyre crossing borders sheriffs posse on their tail
They 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 though it came with a price
They wouldnt stop running til they found a paradise
But the Sheriff finally found em with his eyes seeing 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 head
And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said:
I said I wish that we could stay here
But I fear our time has come
Oh we can walk down to the ocean
Chasing the rising sun
We gotta pack our bags this instant
No more running from town to town
And if we arrive there so safely
Baby you can lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
Well youre my green eyed girl and Ive been running round with you
Its the afternoon and we got nothing left to do
So wipe the dirt off or take yer shirt off
And we should go hit the cantina we got work off
I said its hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes
Weve been running for a while whyoncha lay down make me smile
I could never ask for nothing better than this
Its just tequila and the beach thats why its salty when we kiss
I said I wish that we could stay here
But I feel our time has come
Oh we can walk down to the ocean
Chasing the rising sun
We gotta pack our bags this instant
No more running from town to town
And if we arrive there so safely
Baby you can lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
