The road was cold the fog was heavy
Her headlights were just like a ghost
She said you look innocent but I ain't crazy
I'm just too tired to drive on alone
If you don't want me to shoot ya
You'll keep both hands on that wheel
She was sweet with just enough poison
I wasn't sure just what to feel
So I drove her into a sunrise
In the middle of nowhere USA
And she slept peaceful as a baby
Once she put that 45 away
When she woke up we talked bout livin
Where she was goin where I had been
I lit a smoke she talked bout Jesus
How he had power to raise the dead
We watched falling stars from her truckbed
And I drove her into a sunrise
In the middle of nowhere USA
And she slept peaceful as a baby
Once she put that 45 away
I drove her into a sunrise
In the middle of nowhere USA
And she slept peaceful as a baby
Once she put that 45 away
And we parked neath the burnin sunrise
And I held her against my chest
She said I never would have shot ya
I said I know your gun it had no lead
