Well that big red sun was sinkin' slow
That rising had a haunting glow
C9
I could see those heat waves rising off the ground
G
We were sittin'on go at that old stop sign
Headlights shinin' on the county line
C9
It was do or die, had to get out of that town
Am
Well honey, you said run
C D
We were so young
G
Tryin' to the world on fire
C9
Turn the key and spark the wire
Em D C9
Chasin' down a feelin' runnin' on desire
G
The future was an open road
C9
Gone in a cloud of smoke
Em D C9
Leavin' a trail of flames behind those tires
C9 D G
Just you and me girl, settin' the world on fire

G
We were blazin' down the road like Kerouac
No time to stop and cover our tracks
C9
We were too damn hot for any one town to hold
G
Yeah, we burned through a few good years
Then you started looking back in that rear view mirror
C9
Right outside of Reno the trail got cold

Pullin' on a lucky strike 'bout to head west
Ridin' off into God's sunset

It's times like this a always think of you
