take em as they come
Last night I dreamed he was runnin' through the avalanche Tears streamed your pretty face all burned red Once your dead its done and not much remains Down the highway another stranger comes You gotta take em baby when they come Little girl put on your red dress Cause we're goin' out on the town tonight And when I hold this switchblade Lets be sure some fools gonna want to fight You gotta take em baby as they come You gotta take em Take em as they come girl Take em as they come girl Take em as they come girl Take em baby as they come God save the rider in the black night Save the man who taught that it was right To do what they have dreamt of So we come what we have become You gotta take em baby when they come Little girl gone are birthdays Faded away into the clear blue night And all the promises we made Lie shattered and broken in the morning light You gotta take em baby when they come You gotta take em Take em as they come girl Take em as they come girl Take em as they come girl Take em baby as they come I know your heart is breakin' I can feel it too girl Though my finger on the trigger is shakin' There's just one thing you could do girl There's winners and losers All the same from the other side But we could choose here girl We could try, couldn't we hon To take em baby when they come Take em as they come girl Take em as they come girl Take em as they come girl Take em baby as they come Take em as they come girl Take em as they come girl Take em as they come girl Take em baby as they come Take em baby as they come Take em baby as they come Take em baby as they come Take em baby as they come.
