On my way to Silve City
Was a man I meant to see
Drivin' through the Black Range Mountains
When it all came back to me
You said meet me by the river
We would start our brand new life
Your daddy swore you were his treasure
You would never be my wife
Chorus
A thousand tears fall in the darkness
A thousand times I've wondered why
How it hurts now to remember
I'd forgotten how to cry
They said he tried to stop you
You ran out into the night
Seven miles down that highway
When I saw those flashing lights
On my way to Silver City
Fightin' back those memories
Lord I've tried but I can't outrun them
Guess they'll always follow me
Chorus
