[Verse 1]
[D]Oh
there was a time when she'd lie in the grass
And imagine [G]the places [Bm]she'd [D]never go

[Verse 2]
[D]And there all alone she would
pleasure herself
With the thoughts of [Bm]a man
she [D]would never know

[Verse 3]
[D]Lying there, she made a promise that
one day she'd run
And she'd find just [Bm]the man
she was looking for
[D]

[Verse 4]
Well, she fell in love with that son of a gun
But he was not [Bm]the man that she
[D]took him for

[Verse 5]
When he came to town
he came rambling in
On a great cloud of [Bm]dust
carried by [D]the wind

[Verse 6]
Oh, it wasn't long before
he pulled her in
And he asked her [Bm]to come
run away with [D]him

[Verse 7]
He saw a pretty young girl
who was ready to run
And she saw just [G]the chance
[Bm]she'd been looking for
[D]

[Verse 8]
Well, she fell in love with that son of gun
But he was [G]not the man
[Bm]that she [D]took him for

[Interlude 2]
[D]

[Verse 9]
[D]They headed out west
driving into the sun
And he promised [G]her she
[Bm]was the only one
[D]Well,

[Verse 10]
he was a thief and
he'd steal just for fun
He'd go cruising [Bm]around with his little [D]gun

[Verse 11]
[G]He ran afoul [Bm]of the law and
decided [G]to run
And he left her [Bm]alone with their little one

[Verse 12]
[G]Well, she was [Bm]in love with
that son of [G]a gun
And the story [Bm]between them it wasn't [G]done
[Bm][D]
