"Lay Me Down"
The Dirty Heads
"Lay Me Down"
Well this is how it starts Two lovers in the dark
On the run, from the one That they called Sheriff Spark
Six guns by their side and Bullets around the waist
Two shots to the sky Sing the sound for the chase
The safe was nearly empty and They were nearly free
But were seen by the Good eye of the mean Billie Green
And he screamed at the top of his lungs They're on the run
It's the two wild siders Grab your horses and your guns
I said I wish that
We could stay here,
But I fear our time has come
We could ride out in the darkness
Chasing the rising sun
We gotta pack out bags this instant,
We're heading south-bound to the next town
And if we all arrive there so safely,
Baby you can
Lay me down...
Lay me down...
Lay me down...
Lay me down...
Well it's the story of the two
Always on the move.
They got nothing left to lose
'Cept thier guns and their wounds
Now they're crossing borders
Sherriffs posse on their tail
They'd rather die together
Than be stuck up in a cell.
They drank up all the whiskey and They partied every night
Like it could be the last The bounty said shoot on sight.
So they chased the enless summer Though it came with the pride.
They would'nt stop running till They found a paradise.
But the sheriff finally found them with his eyes seeing red.
So the lovers had to shoot him down And fill em ful of lead
They were finally free To find a place to lay their head
And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said.
I said I think that we can stay here,
Cause I feel our time has come.
And we can walk down to the ocean,
And sit with the rising sun.
So unpcack your bags this instant,
No more running from town to town
And now that we've arrive so safely,
Baby you can
Lay me down...
Lay me down...
Lay me down...
Lay me down...
Well you're my green-eyed girl And I've been running around with you.
It's the afternoon and we got nothing left to do.
So wipe the dirt off, eh Take shirt off,
And we should go hit the cantina, We got work off.
I said it's hot outside Let me go swimming in your eyes.
We've been running for a while
Why don't you lay it on and make smile.
I could never ask for nothing better than this.
It's just tequila and the beach, thats why its salty when we kiss.

Go Ahead And Lay Me Down
A life on the run, traveling up and down the California coast, and searching for a place to hide, and it all started with an idea. A simple heist a.k.a bank job, and we did not know what it would lead to.
Calvin decided where and when the job would take place and I figured out how it was done. Everything was running smoothly; we arrived at the bank, just after a delivery. We waited for the truck to leave then, I disabled the alarm, and we were in the bank in less than two minutes. The bank under the moonlight glare made the whole job very easy. The second we for in Calvin found the security office and we played a continuous strip of film to cover our tracks. Next, we went down to the safe. While I was trying to crack the code Calvin began to try and “distract” me, but the second I was ready to give in the safe opened. We heard the loud bang and knew that we were in. There was a limited time window because the “bang” would give us away if there happened to be anyone nearby.
I was gathering everything together, and then I saw him. The Sheriff tried to chaise us, but we were too fast for him. We ran all up and down the California coast, and it was like a vacation. The cool ocean air and whiskey every night by a nice warm camp fire, running away from the cops didn’t seem that bad because I was with the man I love.
Our vacation was cut short when the Sherriff found us. That day the ring of gunfire pierced my ears. The rush of adrenaline and fear kept me on my toes. As I ducked for cover I saw Calvin wrestling with the deputy. The next thing I knew I was passed out on the ground. Calvin told me later that the Sherriff knocked me out.
After seeing Cassie on the ground I lost it. I ran towards the Sherriff and wrestled the gun away from his hands. I shot the Sherriff, but not the deputy. After chasing him away I ran to Cassie’s side and I said “I think that we can stay here, and I feel our time has come”.
