Southbound outta Reno Blood and bullets in my hand I gotta make it to Tucson Before the sheriff finds me, and locks me down again Yeah I left her sleepin' Yeah she's dreamin' Doesnt even know Im gone But its better to leave her, than it ever was to try lead her on Lets leave the high cla** life behind It won't bring me what I need I got the open road
One last time Southbound outta Tucson Empty wheel gun lyin' on the floorboard Gotta make the border Before the gallows drop and swing once more I can feel the sunset On that hard and desert painted road All I need is a minute For water, gas, and just time to reload I can see her walking I can feel her there I can smell her perfume in the air
