[Verse 1]
Desert nights under lonely stars
Cruising down a highway takes me farther from home
Whiskey and regret
Neither can erase the fact that I have done wrong

[Verse 2]
So now I'm on the run
The law is on my trail
Let down the only girl that ever seemed to be the one for me
So now I wander alone

[Verse 3]
Alone in a cheap motel room
Praying to the lord above
Burden of the past rests so heavy on my shoulders
My conscience carries the weight of blood

[Verse 4]
Cigarette smoke and shadow
A neon cactus in the night
Did what I did cause I thought that I had no choice
But there's always another way

[Verse 5]
I look to the moon and stars
Somewhere underneath them she's there
Never even spoke to her the words of love I held in my heart
If she heard them now, would she still care?
[Verse 6]
Wonder if she's thinking of me
Does she hate me for what I've done
How I wish that I could change everything and go back
Now that my last chance is gone, it's gone

[Verse 7]
Moon, will you tell her for me
I'm sorry for all the trouble that I've caused
If only I could find a way to return to her someday
For I long to hold her in my arms

[Verse 8]
But I fear that I'm not for this world
Because I will not go out without a fight
I'm running forever, if they should catch me
One last thought of her before my gun is fired
