| The road was cold the fog was heavy
|
| Her headlights were just like a ghost
|
| She said you look innocent but I ain’t crazy
|
| I’m just too tired to drive on alone
|
| If you don’t want me to shoot ya
|
| You’ll keep both hands on that wheel
|
| She was sweet with just enough poison
|
| I wasn’t sure just what to feel
|
| So I drove her into a sunrise
|
| In the middle of nowhere USA
|
| And she slept peaceful as a baby
|
| Once she put that .45 away
|
| When she woke up we talked bout livin
|
| Where she was goin, where I had been
|
| I lit a smoke she talked bout Jesus
|
| How he had power to raise the dead
|
| We watched falling stars from her truckbed
|
| So I drove her into a sunrise
|
| In the middle of nowhere USA
|
| And she slept peaceful as a baby
|
| Once she put that .45 away
|
| So I drove her into a sunrise
|
| In the middle of nowhere USA
|
| And she slept peaceful as a baby
|
| Once she put that .45 away
|
| And we parked neath the burnin sunrise
|
| And I held her against my chest
|
| She said I never would have shot ya
|
| I said I know, your gun it had no lead |
