Verse 1 - Male

I found her by the county line

With a matchbook in her hand

She said, “You look like trouble, friend”

I said, “That’s what I am”

The sheriff’s horse was sweating hard

Two towns behind our trail

She climbed aboard my stolen Ford

And laughed at every bell

Verse 2 - Female

My father wore a silver star

My brother wore it too

But both of them were buried deep

For things they swore were true

I took the ledger from his desk

And burned the family name

Then met you where the blacktop bends

Beside the midnight train
