lyrics

Man:
The sun shines, reflections off glass
Through shimmers of light I strain my eyes

Woman:
We traveled the highways, always farther from home
Hungry and tired, but never alone

He promised his old life was left far behind
I tried to believe him; I tried to be fine

Man:
I've been hiding for to outlast the footsteps of those close behind

Both:
My days, they're numbered; my hours are few
Don't try to find me. I'll be gone just like you

Man:
We had each other, but not much of a life
Desperate times for a man and his wife

Woman:
He got to changing right before my own eyes
The man that I loved was a different kind

Man:
I'd been stealing, at first to survive
But the day it all ended I took a man's life

Both:
Told him to give me all that he had
Like a fool, he started to fight
When she found out that I killed the poor lad
Well she left me that night
