Ray LaMontagne - Narrow Escape lyrics

Artist: Ray LaMontagne

album: Trouble


Lejos and Mary lay dazed in Liula
Dreaming of tropical signs
And as Lejos lay sleeping, she knelt over him, weeping
Feeling the weight of his crimes
It seems he cut a man down in a Tennessee town
He's just licking his wounds for a spell
But it won't take long for the boys to catch on
And soon, he'll be running like hell
Run, Lejos, run
This ain't no time for that ball and chain
Run, Lejos, run
Climb on that pony and ride like you ain't never done

Well, their love, it was long, it was gentle and strong
And for a while, she forgot his sins
And she kissed him for love, she kissed him for luck
She kissed him one time for a kid
Well, they came in without a warning in the hours before morning
They come-a blasting through the windows and the walls
When the smoke it did clear, somebody cried out, "He ain't here!
Killed ourselves a woman, that's all"
Run, Lejos, run
This ain't no time for that ball and chain
Run, Lejos, run
You climb on that pony and ride like you ain't never done
Ride like you ain't never done
