Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, no, no
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh, no, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
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 their waist
Two shots to the sky
Signal sound for the chase
The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free
But were seen by the good eye of the mean Billy Green
And he screamed at the top of his lungs, "They're on the run
It's the two outsiders, grab your horses and your guns"
I said I wish that we could stay here
But I fear our time has come
Well, 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 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 to shoot on sight
So they chased the endless summer, though it came with the pride
They wouldn't stop running 'til 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 him 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 arrived 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, or take your 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 down and make 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've arrived so safely
Baby, you can lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down, oh
Lay me down
Lay me down
