Our love was born on a southbound train
Young, wild, and free but so hard to tame
Eating coal or screaming steam
No address to the fiend
I can't say why we got off track 
But we killed a man, she got high
And we ain't never looked back

So won't you take her down to that five o' clock line
When she's screaming drugs and candy into the night
Won't you hide her arms, my queen of hearts
There's no turning back
We spend our lives just covering her tracks but
I know this time, my canary's too deep in the mine

Our days were numbered in that one horse town
So we took the money, shot the Sheriff down down
On idle on horses we run
I was green in the saddle, she was snug in the gun

So won't you take her down to the five o' clock line
when she's screaming drugs and candy into the night
won't you hide her arms, my queen of hearts
No turning back, we spend our lives just covering her tracks 
But I know this time
My canary's too deep in the mine
