Lay Me Down

In the style of

The Dirty Heads

feat.

Rome

Lyrics

ho, woah, hoo, ho
ho, ho, no, no hmm

hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

ho, woah, hoo, ho
ho, ho, no, oh

hmm, hmm

well this is how it
starts two lovers

in the dark

on the run from the
one they call

sheriff sparks

six guns by the side
and bullets 'round

their waist

two shots to the sky
signal sign

for the chase

the safe is nearly
empty and they were

nearly free

but were seen by the
good eye of the mean

billy queen

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 is come

we could ride out
in the darkness

chasing the rising sun

we gotta pack our bags this
instant we're headin'

southbound til the next town

and if we arrive
there so safely

baby you could 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 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'

they're chasing
in the summer, knew

it came with a price

they wouldn't stop
running til they

found the 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 he finally
did he looked at her

and then he said

i said i think
that we can stay here

'cos 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 been running

round with you

it's the afternoon
and we got nothing

left to do

so wipe the dirt
off, and 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 been running for awhile
why don't you lay down

make me smile

i could never ask
for nothing better

than this

it's just tequila and the beach
it's why it's salty

when we kiss

i said i think that
we can stay here

'cos 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, no

lay me down, lay me down
