It`s a Saturday afternoon romance
Between a cowboy and a fool
A druken meet up
In a crude saloon
A poor Rocky Mountain town
He`s a scoundrel
And she`s no pearl
Together they are two lovers cruel
Got her balanced on his knee
He knows exactly what to say
`You ain`t been born
`till you get out of town
And honey,
You might come with me`
`If you do...
Spare the innocent ones
I`ll take you with me
Together we will be drifters free`
Got her tangled in his arms
She`s a lusting, trusting fool
`No man born can rule me
That I`ve swon
But stranger if you do
I`ll belong to you`
`If you do...
Would you spare the innocent ones
Would you take me with you?
Can you love the land
And love me too?`
As he grows sober
Sees his love anew
In morning light so true
He gets on the move
On the move
