Caught hell down on that county line
He said "Georgia law man, he ain't taking whats mine"
And I know it came a little too soon, my dear.
Cause he's been fighting his way through the southern states,
With a bottle of whiskey and a few mistakes
And fell right into love with a girl named Grace
He said "Well I died today when you took my breath away
With that Oklahoma sunshine on your face,
And I'd find a way to promise you forever
Even if forever means
I'm gonna have to sell my soul today"
So they rode together just a raisin Cain,
Cheating death outta them poker games
And then knocking out the back door
On the back way out of town
Well the marshals boys never far behind and then
West Virginia had on the horizon
He thought it best to let her know right now. He said
"We could have died today
But I loved you all the way
And I'd go right down to hell just to set you free
And I'd find a way to promise you forever
Even if forever means dying right here with you next to me"
So when hell came down on that county line
And all they could remember was that Oklahoma sunshine,
She looked at him and he looked away
He said "I heard West Virginia looks just like heaven
And right here's about as close as were getting and I,
I don't think we're going to win this one today"
We're gonna die today,
But I loved you all the way
And I'd go right down to hell just to set you free
And I'd find a way to promise you forever
Even if forever means dying right here with you next to me
