Lay Me Down

[Intro: Rome]

Woah.. Woah.. Woah.. na.. na.. Ooohhooo..

Woah.. Woah.. Woah.. na.. na.. Ooohhooo..

[Verse 1: Duddy B]

Well this is how it starts

Two lovers in the dark

On the run from the one

That they called Sheriff Spark

Six guns by their side

And bullets around their waist

Two shots to the sky

Signal sound for the chase

The safe was nearly empty

And they were nearly free

But were seen by the good eye

Of the mean Billy Green

And he screamed at the top of his lungs

They're on the run

It's the two outsiders

Grab your horses and your guns

[Chorus: Rome]

I said I wish that we could stay here

But I fear our time has come

We could ride out in the darkness

Chasing the rising sun

We gotta pack our bags this instant

We're heading south-bound to the next town

And if we all arrive there so safely

Baby, you can lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

[Verse 2: Dirty J]

Well it's the story of the two

Always on the move

They got nothing left to lose

'Cept their guns and their wounds

Now they're crossing borders

Sheriff's posse on their tail

They'd rather die together

Than be stuck up in a cell

They drank up all the whiskey

And they partied every night

Like it could be the last

The bounty said to shoot on sight

So they chased the endless summer

Knew it came with the pride

They wouldn't stop running

'Til they found their paradise

But the sheriff finally found them

With his eyes seeing red

So the lovers had to shoot him down

And fill him full of lead

They were finally free

To find a place to lay their head

And when they finally did

He looked at her and then he said

[Chorus 2: Rome]

I said I think that we can stay here

'Cause I feel our time has come

And we can walk down to the ocean

And sit with the rising sun

So unpack your bags this instant

No more running from town to town

And now that we've arrived so safely

Baby, you can lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

[Verse 3: Dirty J]

Well you're my green-eyed girl

And I've been running around with you

It's the afternoon and we got nothing left to do

So wipe the dirt off

Or take your shirt off

And we should go hit the cantina

We got work off

I said it's hot outside

Let me go swimming in your eyes

We've been running for a while

Why don't you lay down and make smile

I could never ask for nothing better than this

It's just tequila and the beach

That's why it's salty when we kiss

[Chorus 2: Rome]

I said I think that we can stay here

'Cause I feel our time has come

And we can walk down to the ocean

And sit with the rising sun

So unpack your bags this instant

No more running from town to town

And now that we've arrived so safely

Baby you can lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down, no

Lay me down

Lay me down
