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
