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
