Capo 3rd fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1: Logan Ryan Skloss]
GBill was a Ranger, well, he swore to hunt me down
EmThrough mountains high or valleys low, through cities or through towns
CI stole Maria, but she came of her own will
G DAnd a love like ours burns deep, and burn it always will
GSaid she was lonely, left cold in his shade
EmAnd Maria's heart longed for more than the empty vows he made
CSo we rode for the border, the night, it was our shroud
DTwo lovers bound by whispers in a world that's way too loud
[Chorus: Logan Ryan Skloss, LRS & Presley Haile]
GI'm just a man in love with a girl
EmRob a bank to buy her diamonds, a store to buy her pearls
CAnd I won't listen, no, I'm blinded by the stars
DA chance to live a dream, heal all these old scars
[Interlude]
G Em C G D
[Verse 2: Presley Haile]
GWell, I sing to him softly underneath the Texas sky
EmTell him of a life where we don't have to hide
CHis hand's in mine, all my worries fade away
G DBut a Ranger's oath don't die and Bill's riding our way
GHe's got his badge, he's got his pride
EmA horse as fast as polished steel, a loaded .45
CBut he won't listen, no he's blinded by the stars
G D GHe'd rather die a free man than live behind them bars
[Verse 3: Logan Ryan Skloss]
GOh, dear Maria, paranoia strikes me deep
EmAnd I fear the consequences of my actions are too steep
CSince the day we hit the road and I took the stash under the mattress
G DTo start a life anew, rise like a phoenix through the ashes
GAnd I swore that if we made it to the land below the border
EmI'd change my outlaw ways and live a life of law and order
CBut surely the federales know about the bounty
DOf fifteen hundred dollars from Atascosa County
[Chorus: Logan Ryan Skloss, LRS & Presley Haile]
GI'm just a man in love with a girl
EmRob a bank to buy her diamonds, a store to buy her pearls
CAnd I won't listen, no, I'm blinded by the stars
DA chance to live a dream, heal all these old scars
[Bridge: Presley Haile & Logan Ryan Skloss]
C GThe valley wind is howling, there's a storm cloud in the air
D EmI grip the bandit's hand as the bullets pierce the air
C GI hear the thunder rolling from Bill's relentless ride
D EmAnd in the full moon's glow, there's nowhere else to hide
GI draw my gun, but I ain't fast enough
EmA bullet from his barrel leaves me choking in the dust
CI stumble back with a pain so sharp and deep
DAs Maria's tears fall down, well, the sky begins to weep
[Chorus: Presley Haile]
G GHe was just a man in love with a girl
EmRobbed a bank to buy me diamonds and a store to buy me pearls
CHe wouldn't listen, no, he was blinded by the stars
DDreamed of something more, but he never got that far
[Interlude]
G Em
[Outro: Logan Ryan Skloss & Presley Haile, LRS]
COh, I dreamed of something more
D GBut I never got that far
