Well this is how it starts Two lovers in the dark
|
On the run, from the one That they called Sheriff Spark
|
Six guns by their side and Bullets around the waist
|
Two shots to the sky Sing the sound for the chase
|
The safe was nearly empty and They were nearly free
|
But were seen by the Good eye of the mean Billie Green
|
And he screamed at the top of his lungs They're on the run
|
It's the two wild siders Grab your horses and your guns
|
|
I said I wish that
|
We could stay here,
|
But I fear our time has come
|
We could ride out in the darkness
|
Chasing the rising sun
|
We gotta pack our bags this instant,
|
We're heading south-bound to the next town
|
And if we all arrive there so safely,
|
Baby you can
|
|
Lay me down...
|
Lay me down...
|
Lay me down...
|
Lay me down...
|
|
Well it's the story of the two
|
Always on the move.
|
They got nothing left to lose
|
'Cept thier guns and their wounds
|
Now they're crossing borders
|
Sherriffs 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 shoot on sight.
|
So they chased the enless summer Though it came with the pride.
|
They would'nt stop running till They found a paradise.
|
But the sheriff finally found them with his eyes seeing red.
|
So the lovers had to shoot him down And fill em ful 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 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 rising sun.
|
So unpcack your bags this instant,
|
No more running from town to town
|
And now that we've arrive so safely,
|
Baby you can
|
|
Lay me down...
|
Lay me down...
|
Lay me down...
|
Lay me down...
|
|
Well you're my green-eyed girl And I've been running around with you.
|
It's the afternoon and we got nothing left to do.
|
So wipe the dirt off, eh Take shirt off,
|
And we should go hit the cantina, We got work off.
|
I said it's hot outside Let me go swimming in your eyes.
|
We've been running for a while
|
Why don't you lay it on and make smile.
|
I could never ask for nothing better than this.
|
It's just tequila and the beach, thats why its 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 rising sun.
|
So unpcack your bags this instant,
|
No more running from town to town
|
And now that we've arrive so safely,
|
Baby you can
|
|
Lay me down...
|
Lay me down...
|
Lay me down...
|
Lay me down... Lay me down...
|
