Mamma mia what have I done I messed up bad this time and I'm on the run Give my love to the family I've got to run away cause they're coming after me Crossing the border with no headlights Under a blood red moon Taking the dirt road with my .45 in case there's trouble Mamma you told me that I'd end up this way Now it's true Just another old desperado Mamma mia I'm not to blame Only thing that daddy left me was a bad last name I could see the blue lights not far behind Ain't taking me alive and I don't feel like dying Crossing the border with no headlights Under a blood red moon Taking the dirt road with my .45 in case there's trouble Mamma you told me that I'd end up this way Now it's true Just another old desperado Mama mia it'll be okay There'll soon come a time when our troubles fade away I'll send you money whenever I can Only one in the family who could ever understand Crossing the border with no headlights Under a blood red moon Taking the dirt road with my .45 in case there's trouble Mamma you told me that I'd end up this way Now it's true Just another old desperado
