Hope rides beside me with a shotgun A landscape so beautiful I just want to die Won't you take me away to wherever you're going? The beer's on me tonight We need a fire but somewhere we lost the light It's dark tonight Hope rides beside me with a hole in her head She's got no regrets, she's got no regrets We're all naked in the desert sun Penance for the last night's fun Tonight we'll make another run Hope is still the rising sun Alone, alone, alone again Alone, these words were never meant Our bodies once kissed by the sun Lay dead in the street with Hope staring back at me Spent the summer days in reckless ways Searching for a glimpse of the better days As they sharpen their teeth, they greet us with a smile Hope rides beside me with a shotgun A landscape so beautiful I just want to die
