Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide. I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride.
Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah.
Well, there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine. I don't need no food, no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time.
Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave. Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'. nothing left to save but my life.
Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah.
Stood on a ridge and stunned religion thinking the world was mine. I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying.
All that fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to an early grave. Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save but my life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life.
So I stood on a ridge and stunned religion thinking the world was mine. I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying. I was stealing when I should have been buying, I was stealing when I should have been buying. STEALING when I should have been buying STEALING when I should have been buying STEALING when I should have been buying STEALING when I should have been buying STEALING woo STEALING hahaha, yeh I was STEALING when I should have been buying STEALING oh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh STEALING oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo STEALING rock'n'roll, alright STEALING rock'n'roll, alright STEALING babe, babe STEALING should, should, should have been buying STEALING should, should, should have been buying STEALING should have, should have, should have been buying STEALING buying, yeah

Circle of hands Cold spirits plan Searching my land For an enemy Came across Love's sweet cost And in the face of beauty Evil was lost
Sky full of eyes Minds full of lies Black from their cold hearts Down to their graves Murdered the dawn Spreading their scorn Cursing the sun Of which love was born
We must keep them away Or pretty soon we'll pay And count the cost in sorrow Sacrifice - the future has it's price And today is only Yesterday's tomorrow
I was only seventeen I fell in love with a gypsy queen She told me: "Hold on" Her father was the leading man Said: "You're not welcome on our land" And then as a foe, he told me to go
He took me to a little shack And put a whip across my back Then told her: "Leave me" I was out for quite a time Came back with her on my mind Sweet little girl She means all the world
Oh, I want my qypsy queen Will she still be torn between Her father and lover One day I will go to him Strong enough to fight and win The kind of a man That he'll understand
There I was on a July morning Looking for love With the strength Of a new day dawning And the beautiful sun
At the sound Of the first bird singing I was leaving for home With the storm And the night behind me And a road of my own
With the day came the resolution I'll be looking for you La la la la …
I was looking for love In the strangest places Wasn't a stone That I left unturned Must have tried more Than a thousand faces But not one was aware Of the fire that burned
In my heart, in my mind, in my soul La la la la …
There I was on a July morning I was looking for love With the strength Of a new day dawning And the beautiful sun
And at the sound Of the first bird singing I was leaving for home With the storm And the night behind me Yeah, and a road of my own
