Fortymile Lyrics by Ann-Marita

Geography

2019

[Verse 1]
You're trouble
But nothing this big man can't handle
I've never turned down a good gamble
I've laid it all out on the table
[Verse 2]
Yeah, you warned me
The law on your heels, you've been running
And unless I keep up, you'll be gone again
Behind bars or headed for the boundary
[Pre-Chorus]
So I got us a bed on the riverboat
Wherever you're gonna be is where we'll both go
[Chorus]
Lay down tight, little actress
Hide your pretty head, little actress
Sip some whiskey, go to sleep a while
We'll be safe by the time we reach Fortymile
[Verse 3]
You need me
And one of these days, you'll believe me
Or you might turn around and deceive me
But I've got something that might make you keep me
[Pre-Chorus]
See, I staked a claim near a place called Nome
Before the end of the year, we'll be swimming in gold
[Chorus]
Lay down tight, little actress
Hide your pretty head, little actress
Sip some whiskey, go to sleep a while
We'll be safe by the time we reach Fortymile
[Bridge]
So when the men in red come to our door
Hold your breath and be still just a little while more
[Chorus]
Lay down tight, little actress
Hide your pretty head, little actress
Sip some whiskey, go to sleep a while
We'll be safe by the time we reach Fortymile
[Outro]
Fortymile
Fortymile
Fortymile
Oh, Fortymile, yeah
