Got to Tucson in the dark
Keeping an eye out for the law
Five hundred miles or more from a broken heart Can they see me coming?
Do they know I'm running?

It's a long long way to Gila Bend
One silver dollar in my hand
Road twists and turns is there no end
When I get there I can lay my head - in Gila Bend

Saw a church along the way
A place to hide, to kneel and pray
Help me make it maybe one more day Can they see me coming?
Do they know I'm running?

It's a long long way to Gila Bend
One silver dollar in my hand
Road twists and turns is there no end
When I get there I can lay my head
