I saw your eyes
Blue and cloudy and sad
As we packed up the car
With everything that we had
'Cause they're coming for us
And we'll need to adjust
Or we'll end up behind bars tomorrow
And the world says we're crooks
But if only they'd look
At our hope and our fear and our sorrow
You had no choice
Had to get while the getting was good
But it had to end
Had to end like we both knew it would
So we're leaving this town
And we'll drive our way down
To the South where it's always real sunny
And we'll have seven children
And build up a farm
And we'll even have bees that makes honey
But suddenly, we saw the lights flash red and blue
Our timing was off, we were stuck there
Nothing left to do
And I saw you smile as they tucked you into the backseat
They asked me some questions
And I only stared at my feet
Wondering how this could happen to someone
As good and pure as thee
But I regret nothing
So please don't feel sorry for me
'Cause they're coming for us
And we'll need to adjust
Or we'll end up dead this time tomorrow
And the world says we're crooks
But if only they'd look
At our hope and our fear and our sorrow
'Cause the love that you gave
Well it just might have saved me
From losing myself in the mirror
Just know there's a woman that loves you
Waiting far away
For the moment that you get to see her
