Intro
Bm G D
[verse 1]
Bm
Don't tell mama,
G
Don't tell your daddy,
D
Baby, let's just go.
Bm G
The only escaping, the only salvation
D
Is a long dark road
Bm
You're bitin' your lip girl,
G
You're tight as a fist girl,
D
We'll be all right
Bm
Once we're over the hot sand,
G D
Out of the badlands, into the night.
Bm G D
[Verse 2]
Bm
Don't trust the teachers,
G
Don't trust the preachers
D
That the world is round
Bm
We'll find out for ourselves,
G D
Once we break past the shell on the edge of this town
Bm
I got some twenties and tens
G D
In a Maxwell House can with the lid on tight,
Bm
To get us over the hot sand,
G D
Out of the badlands, into the night.
[Chorus]
A
Oh,
G D
There's a billion little stars,
A
Oh,
G D
Let's pick out which one is ours
A
Oh,
G D
Girl, I need you by my side,
Bm
To get over the hot sand,
G D
Out of the badlands, into the night.
[Verse 3]
Bm
Baby you'd better
G
Get jeans and a sweater
D
If the air gets cold
Bm
'Cause we been dreaming bout breaking out,
G D
Running away, since seven years old
G
And it won't be as hard
Bm
Once the fence in our yard
D
Disappears out of sight
Bm
When we're over the hot sand,
G D
Out of the badlands, into the night.
