D                  D/C          D/B 
We took off running into the night 
            D/C         D 
It was just me and Mary Lou 
D                           D/C        D/B 
So please don't worry it'll be alright 
              D/C              D 
Cause we were gone before they knew 
Cadd9   G          D  
We been riding for such a long time 
Cadd9          G           D   
Just  tryin' to get to Mexico 
G        C         G            C  
Into the fire with all of our desires 
     Em      A        D 
With so many miles to go 
 
I'm sure we'll make it before daylight 
Yes, we'll be sailin' on soon 
So hush now honey, you're all that I 
Got left to hold on to 
We been waitin' for this time to come 
To use our pistols and chance it on the run 
Cuttin' right through the darkness of the night 
And all we got is 27 dollars and a wedding ring 
 
Took off running into the night 
It was just me and Mary Lou 
So hush now honey, you're all that I 
Got left to hold on to
