this is how it starts two lovers in the dark
on the run from the one they call sherrif spark
six guns by their side and bullets round their waists
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
its the two wild sliders grab your holsters 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 instand
we're heading south bound to the next town
and if we arrive their 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 except their guns and their wounds
now their crossing 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 the chasing in the summer though it came with a pride
they wouldn't stop running til they found a paradise
but the sheriff finally found em with his eyes seeing red
so they lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead
they were finally free to find a place the lay their heads
and when they finally did he looked to her and then he said
i said i think that we can stay here
cuz 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've arrived so safely,
baby you can lay me down, lay me down, lay me down, lay me down.
well your my green eyed girl and i've been running around with you
its 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 its hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes
we've been running for a while why dont you lay down and 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 think that we can stay here
cuz 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've arrived so safely, baby you can lay me down,
lay me down, lay me down, lay me down, lay me down.
