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

Oh,
A# F
There's a billion little stars,

Oh,
A# F
Let's pick out which one is ours
C
Oh,
A# F
Girl, I need you by my side,
Dm
To get over the hot sand,
A# F
Out of the badlands, into the night.
Dm
To get over the hot sand,
A# F
Out of the badlands, into the night.
