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
