Desert nights under lonely stars 
 A5                              C5
Cruising down a highway takes me farther from home 
 A5                 C5
Whiskeeeee and????? regret
  A5                             C5                              
Neither can erase the fact that I have done wrong

So now I'm on the run
  F5                 C5
The law is on my trail
  F5                              C5
let down the only girl that ever seemed to be the one for me
  F5               G5
So now I wandered alone
(SOLO #1)
(format #1)    A5 ,  C5
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
