Desert nights under lonely stars

Cruising down a highway takes me farther from home

Whiskey and regret

Neither can erase the fact that I have done wrong



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 wander alone



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



I 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



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
