Two Hearts

Came to a stop one night on a dark and dusty road Thirty-one miles from the place I'd planned to go Walked the white line 'til I did find a neon glow Sign said Welcome to the Desert Rose I walked on in and pulled a stool up to the bar Saw her sittin' there and I forgot about my car She slid right over with a drink I said hey there how'd you know? She smiled you kept me waitin' it's about time that you showed And I said Looks like you and I Are gonna have some fun 'Cause you and me babe We're Two Hearts on the run Just then two men walked in from the hard drivin' rain One had a knife and just my luck one had a chain One with the knife said that's my wife you gonna meet your end Now you all know I had no way of knowin' that my friends I turned to her and said you gonna help me outta this mess? She reached right down and pulled a gun from 'neath her dress Her man said wait a minute think it over Rosalee She turned as bridges burned and said this right to me She said Looks like you and I Are gonna have some fun 'Cause you and me babe We're Two Hearts on the run Ran out the back door hopped into her little truck She shifted gears we disappeared in a trail of mud Down a maze of sidestreets and backroads we did drive Hollerin' with adrenalin just happy to be alive Lookin' back they hadn't followed at the time I thought it strange Right then in the rearview mirror headlights shone through the rain One day I know I'll burn hot as the settin' sun Right then I was the king, she handed me the gun And we sang Looks like you and I Are gonna have some fun 'Cause you and me babe We're Two Hearts on the run Rolled down the window as they rammed us from the side The truck fishtailed to the left and then the right A loud crack lit the sky, something in me changed They barelled through the storm like a runaway freight train Levelled the gun and I started to unload Smoke poured from the hood and I saw a tired explode They swerved into a ditch and the car burst into flames They hopped on out and started to shout all kinds of names And we sang Looks like you and I Are gonna have some fun 'Cause you and me babe We're Two Hearts on the run We drove a hundred miles and found a cheap motel Holed up there for the night and uh had some fun as well Like a dream when I awoke the truck and her were gone And though she never said goodbye she at least left me this song From time to time she comes to mind my Desert Rosalee And in a note you know she wrote these simple words to me We cannot return blindly from whence we've come I know one day you'll find me We are Two Hearts On The run
