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
