Joseph Arthur Blue Lights In The Rear View Lyrics

Do you want to make a run with me
I know a place that don't have security
Tell my woman to settle down
In an hour we'll be leaving town
They won't find us 'til we're in the ground

I want to buy you a diamond ring
I want to fly you to the sun and the sea
Come on darling, settle down
I got this whole thing figured out
In an hour we'll be leaving town

Hey now baby it's time to go
Grab the silverware and the big fur coat
Now that we're moving, I think we're safe
The night will hide us until the day
By then we'll be so far, so far away

I think I see blue lights in the rear view mirror
My heart is beating fast and full of fear
But I won't let them chase us down
I'd rather have them chase us into the ground
Dear Lord where is your blessing now

I'm sorry darling, I let you down
I guess this dream was something the devil found
But I'll tell the judge that you did not know
What we were doing or where we would go
And when I've done my time I hope you show
