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 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 out 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 their guns and their wounds

Now they're crossing borders

Sheriffs 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 endless 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 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 unpack 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 unpack 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...
