Too many nights alone, too many days gone by
With nothing much to show, she was running out of time
He was all she'd ever need, if they could just outrun the past
She said "run away with me", she tried but couldn't laugh
He said "lesser men than me have put up better fights."
She said "we're doing pretty good if we can just get out alive."

        G                                            C/G
But the freedom had left her, left her drifting like smoke

Left her drifting like smoke

He'd come on off the road, on his shoulder laid her cheek

The bitter taste of smoke, the bike between her knees

The engine running loud, couldn't hear her if he tried
