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