Small Town Sweetheart

Dust settles down on the old wooden ties,
The train blew its whistle and fled.
In this lonely place under unforgiving skies,
We walked where the innocent bled.
You laughed in the face of the local lawman,
With a loaded Colt hid in your coat.
You played out a wild and dangerous plan,
And left just a scribbled-out note.

Припев
Cutie from a small town, wild and free,
Two bullets and a handful of smoke.
You stole my old Ford and you ran out on me,
But I'm loving this devilish joke.


They're dealing the cards in the back of the bar,
Pouring whiskey as morning breaks through.
But you never settled for being a star,
You took what you felt was your due.
With a smile of a child, innocent and sweet,
And eyes that were darker than sin.
A single brass shell left behind on the seat,
Where the trouble and chaos begin.


Let the hounds try to follow your trail in the dirt,
Let the judges prepare for their trial.
I know that you're gone, but it don't really hurt,
I'd walk to the gallows to just see your smile.
You broke every rule that they wrote on the page,
And vanished away in the night.
I'd gladly step into your runaway cage,
And give up without any fight.

Припев
Cutie from a small town, wild and free,
Two bullets and a handful of smoke.
You stole my old Ford and you ran out on me,
But I'm loving this devilish joke.
