I lit out of town, riding backwards on a mule a pocket full of quarters I was racing with the moon just a little country dork with a cigar box guitar a broken set of legs and 2 big hands full of scars she was just the kind of girl the whole damn world liked to harm too blond hair too big stare been too long on the farm the kind of girl that you might miss if you don't look long and hard she was halfway through her suicide note when I happened along. we first met and it all fit like rainwater on leaves a cold wind started blowing pulling branches off the trees I knew first time I kissed her that she would ruin me in the end the crows were flying overhead and I kissed her again. In a western pa city we robbed the local trust it didn't even feel real till they shot at both of us they blew out the windshield it was raining blood and glass I put the pedal to the floor but we were almost out of gas I turned to my baby just to ask what we should do then I saw her hand on the spot where the bullet had gone through I pulled off the highway and she died right in my arms then they took me away 30 years behind bars. The judge he loudly asked me was I sorry about what I'd done I said I have no regrets who can be sorry about true love I knew first time I kissed her she would ruin me in the end. The crows were flying overhead and I kissed her again. The crows were flying overhead and I kissed her again.

Life on top of an uncarved block everything is one open fields factories and docks in this fallen town David plays with his jump rope A delirious son with every turn there is new hope in Davids Tao tears am I are Tears am I are I am where tears are tears am I are with every turn there is new hope for a delirious son David plays with his jump rope In this fallen town open fields factories and docks every thing is one that's life on top of an uncarved block in Davids tao tears am I are Tears am I are I am where tears are tears am I are

The girl with the moon in her hair says nothing else matters but the lights on the freeway nothing else matters but travelling by railway nothing else matters but the field where the planes land nothing else matters so she'll go while she can the girl with the moon in her hair says nobody kneels by the statues in the grave yard nobody kneels in the corner of the school yard nobody kneels in the pews of their own chuch nobody kneels there just too busy working the girl with the moon in her hair says nobody cries at the end of the movie nobody cries and they don't say their sorry nobody cries at their own daughters wedding nobody cries at the unhappy ending the girl with the moon in her hair says she was born on the edge of the city says the next day both her folks turned up missing says that she spent most of her young life running says she was born on a crow ugly Monday the girl with the moon in her hair says she;s just looking for the yard where the trains go says she's just looking for a heart that can beat slow says she;s just looking for some dirt for a fresh grave says she's just looking for the end of a long long day the girl with the moon in her hair the girl with the moon in her hair the girl with the moon in her hair nobody listens to the girl with the moon in her hair.

why'd you have to leave me on a train I wish you would have walked away instead because every time I hear that whistle whine I see you leave me all over again why'd you have to leave me in the rain I wish you would have waited for a nicer day its hard enough to do this living with out you but now I cry every time it rains why'd you have to leave your stuff behind I stare at it day and night all the things you left won't let me forget I;m living with the ghosts of our old life why'd you have to leave me on a train I wish you would have walked away instead because every time I hear that whistle whine I see you leave me all over again
