Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Desert nights under lonely stars
Cruising down a highway takes me farther from home
Whiskeeeee and
regret
Neither can erase the fact that I have done wrong
(format #2)
So now I'm on the run
The law is on my trail
let down the only girl that ever seemed to be the one for me
So now I wandered alone
(SOLO #1)
Alone in a cheap motel room
Praying to The Lord above
Burden of the past rests so heavy on my shoulders
My conscience carries the weight of blood
Cigarette smoke and shadow
A neon cactus in the night
Did what I did 'cause I thought that I had no choice
But there's always another way
(format #2) F, C, Then G at last verse of line
look to the moon and stars
Somewhere underneath them she's there
Never even spoke to her the words of love I held in my heart
If she heard them now, would she still care?
Wonder if she's thinking of me
Does she hate me for what I've done
How I wish that I could change everything and go back
Now that my last chance is gone, it's gone
(SOLO # 2)
Moon, will you tell her for me
I'm sorry for all the trouble that I've caused
If only I could find a way to return to her someday
For I long to hold her in my arms
But I fear that I'm not for this world
Because I will not go out without a fight
I'm running forever, if they should catch me
One last thought of her before my gun is fired
