Run to the Desert

Night's fallen on the valley
He's knockin' at your door
You're prayin' there by candlelight
With gold beneath your floor
He's always coming after
He shot his gun all over town
Spreadin' lies upon the streets
Drank his whiskey down
You wanna leave him out there
Howlin' at the moon
But you know he's gonna be
Breakin' that door down soon

So gather your horses
Your daughters and your sons
Ridin' to the desert
Let's run
Gather your horses
Your daughters and your sons
Ridin' to the desert
Let's run

He was such a sweet talker
Whispering while you slept
But the next day he was was full of
Promises he never kept
He used to keep you locked up
With his silver tongue
But your free spirit knew the song he sung

Danger is close and salvation far
We've got to get out to the sand and the stars

So gather your horses
Your daughters and your sons
Ridin' to the desert Let's run
So gather your horses
Your daughters and your sons
Ridin' to the desert
Let's run
