Somewhere in the dark, in a town beneath the border
There's a lone woman who cries in the night
She has been a loner ever since he's know her
But she keeps her loneliness out of sight
Somewhere at the coast near the Bay of Fundy
There's a place called Dorchester town
In a cell on a block behind the walls of the prison
There's a man on a real come down
Am,C,Dm,Am x2
They had got together a long, long time ago
The love burned right from the start
But he was an outlaw, though he tried to change
He just kept breaking her heart
I don't know how it started but I do know how it ended
And it ended the way it is now
He's doing twenty years in the Dorchester Prison
She's doing twenty years somehow
If he never pulled the gun
He'd never end up on the run
If she never listened to her heart
Why did she listen, listen to her heart
Am,C,Dm,Am x2
Somehow the years have past
And two more hours he's free at last
He'll walk past that wall
Sixty miles down the road
She's driving north with a heavy load
She's not sure at all
Has he really changed his ways
Or will she only count the days
Until the tear drops fall
Or will he end up on the run
With his only friend called a gun
When he hears the outlaw call
Am,C,Dm,Am x8 until fade
