Desert nights under lonly 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 load 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 because I thought I had no choice
But there's always another way
I look into the moon and stars---
Somewhere underneath them she's there
Never even spoke to her the words of love I hid 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 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 long for this would
Because I will not go out without a fight
I'm running forever and if they should catch me---
One last thought of her before my gun is fired
