Take my life

Now look at what I've done,
outlaws have all the fun.
If this is what it takes in becoming a man,
mark this as my final stand.

Oh god there's blood on my hands,
looks like I won.
My hands are shaking from this loaded gun!

As I hear the road calling my name,
I've got to get out, got to leave this place.
This is the last night you will see my face,
my last night in town no regret or shame.
And like a ghost I'll leave no sign,
that I was ever here, a maverick of my time.
To think you almost escaped, got away clean.
I will show you what this means to me.
Too bad we could not be saved from falling away,
all over now there's nothing left for you to say!

And I fear this time, you will fall short!

In the morning light they will come to find
the consequence for a runaway bride.
Maybe then they will come to realize this was never about my pride.

Give me your best shot, let's see what you've got.
I'll give everything, I wont be caught.
I know everything comes to an end.
I will take this to the grave,
you will take my life.
