The Band Wanted - Still Alive

We were sitting right here in this lonely world
Swapping stories 'bout an old cowgirl
Everybody said she was the best in the land
They say her children made real good hands
She was ridin her horse all across the plains
But Her father tried to stop her from crossin the main
Daddy was an outlaw and shot her in the arm
But she was a cowgirl and shot him in the heart
She's still alive she's still alive
She's still alive today
Born to ride born to flee born to run to me
His Mama wasn't right she loved too hard
He worked many years fore he left her yard
She gathered up a posse and she kept his gold
But money don't love you when you're growin old
They played their games like the rest of us do
Killin each other and his children too
In the blink of an eye the hangman came
She drew fast but he made her Pay
He's still alive he's still alive
He's still alive today
Born to run born to flee born to run to me
Well she had a goal and he did too
They shared a dream and it came true
Desperados on the run
Burnin in the desert underneath the sun
In the arms of an Angel it'll end one day
Holding hands as they fade away
In the ashes they'll find what we always knew
Still old friends together those two
They're still alive they're still alive
They're still alive today
Born to fly born to ride born to fly away
They're still alive they're still alive
They're still alive today
Born to fly born to ride born to fly away
