no momma ever treated me like i was her baby child she was traveling so light she was traveling so light we lived so free and wild we lived so free and wild double crossed me in new orleans i should have never let her in would she forgive me in time would she forgive me in time for all my wanderings for all my wanderings shackled up in canyon city colorado doing time i always knew she would get caught i always knew she would get caught for leaving me over the line for leaving me over the line in the end she nearly killed me when she shared with me her wine and her bed like two thieves in the night like two thieves in the night we threw away our hearts and fled we threw away our hearts and fled so if you hold on to love too tightly no peace of mind can be won so travel on so light travel on so light to the morning stars you run to the morning stars you run
