I've got a memory of blood
I don't remember whose it was
Black and shining on the leaves
Moon rising through the trees
Somebody lying in the mud
That was a hammer coming down
Her father found another town
Before i knew her mother drank
Before i knew her last name
Before i knew what i know now
I know a key and gasoline
Will light a spark in the machine
And we could drive all night
Never find the other side
And get a lot of what we need
My lady put a lot of weight on the pedal
Riding home in the light of the stars
We knew good love and we knew it
Cause we never called it ours
We kept it running in the dark
She read a chapter out to me
Lying in the backseat
About a boy who stole a horse
Then went back to steal some more
They left his body in the weeds
Everybody's gambling
Scared money don't win
Scared hearts don't love
So we made a good run
And i don't mind the shape we're in
My lady put a lot of weight on the pedal
Riding home in the light of the stars
We knew good love and we knew it
Cause we never called it ours
We kept it running in the dark
We kept it running all night
Horizon on her mind
We kept it running all night
We were fine when the sun came screaming
Through the same gray skies we were sure we were leaving
My lady put a lot of weight on the pedal
Riding home in the light of the stars
We knew good love and we knew it
Cause we never called it ours
We kept it running in the dark
