Lovers On The Run

We were just two teens in love and on the run
Like an itchy trigger finger gotta shoot of a gun
We hit the road with just the clothes on our backs
Dunno where we're headed gotta get there fast
So now we're driving through the middle of Tennessee
Up to the Appalachian mountains ole' Kentucky
And we're picking up speed as we cross county lines
Through tobacco fields of North Carolina
and we'll camp tonight under them Georgia pines
Count all the stars with a bottle of wine
And we'll sleep with our bodies intertwined
Til I can't even tell what's yours and what's mine
Oh dear darling don'tcha die on me
When there's still so many sights left for us to see
As we cross over the river Mississippi
West into Kansas out of Missouri
Oh baby you're looking so mighty pretty
With your hair all a'blowin' in the passenger seat
Ya just gotta keep remembering to breathe
Don't close them eyes, don't follow them dreams
And I promise you we're gonna be getting there soon
We'll howl and we'll dance by the light of the moon
We can map our path using the Texas stars
Til we don't even know where in the hell we are
Redemption lies under the hood of this car
And I'm sorry it didn't get us very far
Now my baby's dyin' in my arms
And the last thing she feels will be the beat of my heart
The one she used to make pound so hard's
Now a mess in my chest being torn apart
Promised her a life where we wouldn't be poor
But where she's headed won't be pain no more
They told us this is what your youth is for
But we was such fools to think we'd win this war
Lovers on the Run

State Line

On the south side of South Carolina
Laying in my lover's arms
I watch her eyes slowly closing
And all I feel is the beating of her heart
I'm riding hard that highway come the morning
With a quick rush of blood to my head
And the thoughts they surround me with no warning
Like a needle weaving its thread
And I don't know what the future has in store
But I've done this drive a hundred times before
Now some things look nice above the dice
hanging from my rear view
But every time I cross that state line
All I'm seeing is you
On the north side of North Carolina
Being guided by a fiery north star
Now if you feel the same way as I do Jessie
Come a'rushin' into these arms
Cus there's chumps burnin' down this highway
I got a soft bed where you can lay
By the time you arrive I'll have it made
That'll be the day
And you don't know what the future has in store
But you've done this drive a hundred times before
Now some things can hide right in plain sight
Best to just take in the view
But every time you cross that state line
You're taking my heart with you
On the south side of South Carolina
In the splendor of the freshly cut grass
My lover's got her arm across her forehead
And I'm laying looking up on my back
And there's questions in her eyes I can't answer
And there's dreams in my head I can't speak
But when the time comes we'll just surrender
Just sit back and let it all be
And we don't know what the future has in store
But we've done this drive a hundred times before
When you've been around the block
and you finally stop
There's a choice you just have to choose
Cus some things you fight for
and some things you die for
We can't win but we don't have to lose
Now every time I cross that state line
