Lost Souls

Her mama said, “You gotta’ live by the rules”
And “Don’t ever show what you feel”
She did her best until she felt like a fool
She needed to find something real

He grew up lonely on the wrong side of town
He’d always been on his own
He never wanted anything that he’d found
That is until she came along

Lost souls, big trouble
Never bet a dollar on their changes
Lost souls
Two dancers in paradise

Lost souls, big trouble
Together they’ll be takin’ all the chances
Lost souls
Two dancers in paradise

They stole a Cadillac and aimed for the coast
True love and a trunk full of beer
Pulled in a truck stop, ordered coffee and toast
Pulled out a gun, “Put the money in here”

A call came into the highway patrol
“Those two are at it again”
They brought out fifteen cars and started to roll
And what they began ended right here

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)

You still hear the stories around here
No one ever stops to wonder
True love and glory gone up in flames
In flames
Their only way
A game
A shame
They’re blown away
