She wore silk and diamonds, I wore dust and scars She danced in the ballroom, I slept under stars Her world was golden, mine painted in sin But the night we first met, I let heaven in She said, “boy, you don’t belong in this place” I said, “neither do you with that look on your face” We were fire and whiskey, we were wrong and we knew But I’d burn down the world just to stand next to you Two different roads that should never cross But love don’t care what it’s gonna cost Oh, ride with me into the fading light Leave your name and your silver behind tonight I got nothing but a heart that’s bruised and true But I’d trade every sin just to run with you Oh, hold me close where the wild winds cry Where the rich don’t judge and the past don’t lie If they find us, girl, we’ll still be free Just an outlaw’s love and a memory Letters in secret, hidden in lace Every word was a risk we couldn’t erase Your father’s men and the law on my head Every road we dreamed led closer to dead You said, “take me far where they won’t decide” I said, “that road’s paved with tears you can’t hide” But you smiled like the sun breakin’ through my pain And for one stolen moment, I believed again But the world we knew came crashing fast Some loves ain’t built to last Oh, ride with me into the fading light Leave your name and your silver behind tonight I got nothing but a heart that’s bruised and true But I’d trade every sin just to run with you Oh, hold me close where the wild winds cry Where the rich don’t judge and the past don’t lie If they find us, girl, we’ll still be free Just an outlaw’s love and a memory Gunshots echo in the canyon wide I saw the fear you couldn’t hide White dress stained in desert red You whispered softly… then you said: “Don’t you stop, don’t you turn around… Even love can’t save us now…” So I ride alone through the setting sun With a ghost beside me where we once run Your name still burns like a brand on me A love too wild for this world to be Oh, I hear your voice in the desert wind Like a prayer for a soul that can’t repent If there’s a place where the lost hearts go I’ll find you there… down a dusty road
