You can see the desert in her tattoos
Miles of freckles from miles of sun
She won't do anything she don't want to,
Like stayin in one place for long 

You can find her way up in that rail town,
Where cowboys are nothin' but ghosts
Steam engine sounds off when the sun comes round
By then her wheels will be bound for Pecos

People go missing every day
But maybe some want to stay that way
You don't get found when you always run
Faster than Billy the Kid's gun

Scars up and down her arms and in her eyes
From all the bars and barbed wire she's seen before
They say living hard ain't living right
She don't believe that lie no more

She swears she almost fell in love once 
Before she realized that love's a trap
Canary in the mine's only passing time 
Until one day the whole sky turns to black

People go missing every day
But maybe some just want to stay that way
You don't get found when you always run
Faster than Billy the Kid's gun

You can see the desert in her tattoos
Faded stories like forgotten prayers
She may not know where she's headin' to
But it don't matter ‘cause she ain't stayin' there
