Well this is how it starts two lovers in the dark
B
On the run from the one that they call Sheriff Sparks
Em			        Am
Six guns by the side and bullets ?round their waist
B
Two shots to the sky signal sound for the chase
Em			        Am
The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free
B
But was seen by the wood eye of the mean Billy Greene
Em			        Am
And he screamed at the top of his lungs ?ethey?re on the run!
B
It?s the two outsiders grab yer holsters and yer guns!?

                        G
But I fear our time has come
			   Am
Oh we can ride out in the darkness
		    G
Chasing the rising sun
                            Am
We gotta pack our bags this instant
				      G

Well it?s the story of the two always on the move
B
They got nothing left to lose ?cept their guns and they wounds
Em			        Am
Now they?re crossing borders sheriff?s posse on their tail
B
They rather die together than be stuck up in a cell
Em			        Am
They drank up all the whiskey and they partied every night
B
Like it could be the last the bounty said to shoot on sight
Em			        Am
So they chased the endless summer though it came with a price
B
They wouldn?t stop running ?til they found a paradise
Em			        Am
But the Sheriff finally found ?em with his eyes seeing red
B
So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead
Em			        Am
They were finally free to find a place to lay their head
B
And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said:
