Last night I dreamed we were runnin' through the outlands
Tears streamin' your pretty face all a wreck
Got ya' daddy's gun in your tremblin' hands
Down the highway another stranger comes
You gotta take em baby when they come
Little girl put on your best dress
Cause we're goin' out on the town tonight
Better bring along your switchblades,
'Cause for sure some fools gonna wanna fight
You gotta take em baby as they come
You gotta take em
Take em as they come girl
Take em as they come girl
Take em as they come girl
Take em baby as they come
God save the rider in the black night
Save the man who taught that it was right
To do what they have dreamt of
So we come what we have become
You gotta take em baby when they come
Little girl gone are birthdays
Faded away into the clear blue night
And all the promises we made
Lie shattered and broken in the morning light
You gotta take em baby when they come
You gotta take em
Take em as they come girl
Take em as they come girl
Take em as they come girl
Take em baby as they come
I know your heart is breakin'
I can feel it too girl
Though my finger on the trigger is shakin'
There's just one thing you could do girl
There's winners and losers
All the same from the other side
But we could choose here girl
We could try, couldn't we hon
To take em baby when they come
Take em as they come girl
Take em as they come girl
Take em as they come girl
Take em baby as they come
Take em as they come girl
Take em as they come girl
Take em as they come girl
Take em baby as they come
Take em baby as they come
Take em baby as they come
Take em baby as they come
Take em baby as they come
