Mesa de Saloon

First day out of the state prison
She's the one I meet right at the door waiting for me
In a convertible with the engine running
That she just stole
Back on the road, today's a celebration
A pack of cigarettes and a bottle of gin
Leaving the city, she parked and said
Wait here for me

Strange movement and a shootout
A bag of money flies on the back seat
Now it's two more hours without hitting the brakes
Full tank, foot down, you won't catch me anymore

This fate that tricked me again
My first day free began
With me on the run once again

It was at a bar table that I met her
Right in the middle of the saloon I fell in love
And right the next morning I found out
With her I can no longer live within the law

So much time had passed since I saw a sunset
Better without so many sirens behind me
It's been a long time since I saw such a mess
Getting this ugly
And every hour another one joins the chase
Almost four days driving without sleep
And even with the road blocked
She keeps smiling

Passing the gas station
Amid a gas pipeline leak
I'll miss those girl's eyes
The lit cigarette tip flies back there
My watch, the minute it stopped
Was found so far from where I am
With her in peace with no one else

It was at a bar table that I met her
Right in the middle of the saloon I fell in love
And right the next morning I found out
With her I can no longer live within the law

It was at a bar table that I met her
Right in the middle of the saloon I fell in love
And right the next morning I found out
With her I can no longer live within the law

It was at a bar table that I met her
Right in the middle of the saloon I fell in love
And right the next morning I found out
With her I can no longer live within the law
