[Verse 1]
It's a Saturday afternoon romance
Between a cowboy and a fool
And a fool
A drunken meet up
A crude saloon
Poor Rocky mountain town
He's a scoundrel
And she's no pearl
And together they are two lovers cruel
[Verse 2]
Got her balanced on his knee
He knows exactly what to say
You ain't been born until you get out of town
And honey, you might come with me
You might come with me
[Verse 3]
If you do
If you do
If you do
And if you do
Spare the innocent ones
I'll take you with me
And together we will be
Drifters free
[Verse 4]
Got her tangled in his arms
She's a lusting trusting fool
No man born can rule me
That I've sworn
But stranger is you do
I'll belong to you
[Verse 5]
If you do
If you do
If you do
And if you do
Would you spare the innocent ones?
Would you take me with you?
Can you love the land
And love me too?
[Verse 6]
As he grows sober
See his love anew
In morning light so true
He gets on the move
On the move
