Oh there was a time when she'd lie in the grass
And imagine the places she'd never go
And there all alone she would pleasure herself
With thoughts of a man she would never know
Lying there, she made a promise
that one day she'd run
And she'd find just the man she was looking for
Well, she fell in love with that son of a gun
But he was not the man that she took him for

When he came to town he came rambling in
On a great cloud of dust carried by the wind
Oh, it wasn't long before he pulled her in
And he asked her to come run away with him
He saw a pretty young girl
who was ready to run
And she saw just the chance she'd been looking for
Well, she fell in love with that son of gun
But he was not the man that she took him for

They headed out west driving into the sun
And he promised her she was the only one
Well, he was a thief and he'd steal just for fun
He'd go cruising around with his little gun
He ran afoul of the law and decided to run
And he left her alone with their little one
Well, she was in love with that son of a gun
And the story between them wasn't done

When she finds him
She will make him regret he was ever born
When she finds him
She will make him regret he was ever born
When she finds him
She will make him regret he was ever born
When she finds him
She will make him regret he was ever born
