Lyrics
I’ll wait for you by the river
I’ll wait for you until dawn
Well I’ll wait for you in the darkness
We’ll drive away with our backs to the sun
The tank is full of gasoline
And the crickets play a farewell song
The stars they wink at me, like they know our secret
And they promise not to tell anyone
Your Daddy, he never liked me
And your Momma thinks that I have steered you wrong
But they don’t know what we got babe
This deal well it can’t be undone
No, this deal well it can’t be undone
We ripped out our heart and gave them to each other
We wrapped them in chains, locked them up and swallowed the key
With a kiss we made promise to one another
That together forever through this life we’ll always be
This deal can’t be undone
I took out all my money
And I bought you a pretty dress to put on
And I mapped out our path straight to the West
Oh soon we’ll say goodbye to this town
I got a job lined up in factory
And a trailer in the hills we can call home
Well we may not have much but as long as I got your touch
I’ll never be forlorned
The moon has turned it's back on us
As the clouds they blush pink from the sun
I see you crossing the field with our baby inside you
Well this deal well it can’t be undone
No this deal well it can’t be undone
We ripped out our hearts and gave them to each other
We wrapped them in chains, locked them up and swallowed the key
With a kiss we made promise to one another
That together forever through this life we’ll always be
This deal can’t be undone
