lyrics

only meant to have some fun
never knew they’d end up sorry
wild horses born to run
sleeping on their feet and never stalling
and when she tells him that he loves her
she knows he means it
he had some bad ideas
justifications for his thieving
she invested all her faith
needed someone to believe in
and when she tells him that she’ll go there
he knows she means it
started with a simple job
burning down an empty building
bastards got what they deserved
all those horses they were killing
never meant to hurt no one
found a clear cut in the redwoods
where they doused up 20 trucks
flicked a match and told’m good luck
how could they know about the night watch
who burned in his sleep?
lovers spent a week in bed
taking turns for who could play dead
burning logs and laying low
only leaving for the woodshed
but when the sheriff kicked the door down
they knew he meant it
morning papers told their deeds
course it’s only allegations
till some photos surfaced up
made our lovers a sensation
but they made a solemn pact
she would testify against him

all those bad ideas were his
all those plans and meditations
it’s a lovely day to die
aid the hangman to the boyfriend
don’t suppose you’d tell me why
you’re here to meet me at the rope’s end?
and when he said it’s for a good cause
they laughed in his face
