D5                  D5          D5 
We took off running into the night 
            D5         D5 
It was just me and Mary Lou 
D5                           D5        D5 
So please don't worry it'll be alright 
              D5              D5 
Cause we were gone before they knew 
C5   G5          D5  
We been riding for such a long time 
C5          G5           D5   
Just  tryin' to get to Mexico 
G5        C5         G5            C5  
Into the fire with all of our desires 
     E5      A5        D5 
With so many miles to go 
 
I'm sure we'll make it before daylight 
Yes, we'll be sailin' on soon 
So hush now honey, you're all that I 
Got left to hold on to 
We been waitin' for this time to come 
To use our pistols and chance it on the run 
Cuttin' right through the darkness of the night 
And all we got is 27 dollars and a wedding ring 
 
Took off running into the night 
It was just me and Mary Lou 
So hush now honey, you're all that I 
Got left to hold on to
