Lay Me Down
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 the side
And bullets around the waist
Two shots to the sky
Sing the song for the chase
The safe was nearly empty
And they were nearly free
But were seen by the good eye of the mean billie queen
And he screamed at the top of his lung they were 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 feel our time has come
We could ride out in the darknes
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 so safely
Baby, you can 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 their guns and their wounds
Now they're crossing borders
Sherrifs 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 the chasing in the summer
Though it came with the pride
They wouldn't 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 full a lead
They were finally free
To find a place to lay their head
And when they finally did it
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 unpack your bags this instant
No more running from town to town
And now that we both arrive so safely
Baby, you can lay me down
Lay me down
Well, you're my green-eyed girl
And I've been running arround with you
It's the afternoon and we got nothing left to do
So wipe the dirt off, or take your shirt off
And we should go hit the cantina, we got work off
I said it's hot outside and let go swimming in your eyes
We've been running for a while
Why don't you lay it on and make me smile
I could never ask for nothing better than this
It's just tequila and the beach
That's why it's 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 unpack your bags this instant
No more running from town to town
And now that we both arrive so safely
Baby, you can lay me down
Lay me down
