Saw a girl in Tampa I asked her for a date
She said baby I'm a sailor this thing better waits I said I don't believe you would you show me some proof She showed me her tattoo then I knew that that's the truth Met a woman on a highway by the exit sign You'd bet your last dollar that she was forty-nine But she swored to me that she was still in her youth When I turned down the lights I knew that that's the truth Had a girl on a border I guess she was shy never spoke a word in years not even hi But one night she said honey we're gonna raise the roof She put on some dancin' shoes then I knew that that's the truth I knew a preacher's daughter in fact I knew her well He said son you better ramble unless you've got somethin' to sell It's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth He pulled out a fourty-four now I know that that's the truth that's the truth |

The girl from the canyon smiled a smile that brought me home
As sick and bleeding as I was she took me on her own Brought me to the canyon where the sun poured down like rain Her smiling eyes and the mountain light I thought myself insane These hills have seen me runnin' till my horse could hardly stand Hidin' by day in the mountains movin' with the moon on the land I'm hoping to find my freedom in a world that wants me dead The girl from the canyon took and healed my wounds instead The girl from the canyon she don't need to know what I had done She laughed with me in the moonlight till the morning brought the sun The girl from the canyon the girl from the canyon she was the only one An outlaw is a hunted one with aprice upon his head We're all outlaws in a way that is what she said And so I left the canyon when I was strong enough to ride The girl from the canyon she was riding by my side The girl from the canyon.. She was the only one |

Baby you're tired I can see in your eyes I know how you feel
We've been together too long to conceal What's in you hearts maybe we should part but after so many years That would only bring loneliness sorrow and tears and anyway I never could never would never will ever kill what's between us So let's try again we'll start a brand new dance between old friends There will always be days when it don't seem to pay when it just doesn't rhyme Well let's bound to happen some of the time Our best days ain't gone we don't need to move on well maybe we could try But I don't think you can make it and neither could I and anyway I never could... Baby come here love ain't disappeared you're just feeling low And let me tell you my darling it's a feeling I know It don't mean too much we just got out of touch well that's easy to change Cause loving you ain't too hard to arrange and anyway I never could... |
