  Am                C
Desert nights under lonely stars 
 Am                              C
Cruising down a highway takes me farther from home 
 Am                 C
Whiskeeeee and????? regret
  Am                             C                              
Neither can erase the fact that I have done wrong

  F               C
So now I'm on the run
  F                 C
The law is on my trail
  F                              C
let down the only girl that ever seemed to be the one for me
  F               G
So now I wandered alone
(SOLO #1)
(format #1)    Am ,  C
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                     
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                                        
(format #2)  F, C, Then G at last verse of line
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?

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
(SOLO # 2)
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

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
