[Verse 1]
Don't tell your mama
Don't tell your daddy
Baby, let's just go
The only escaping, the only salvation
Is a long dark road
You're bitin' your lip, girl
You're tight as a fist, girl
We'll be alright
Once we're over the hot sand
Out of the badlands, into the night

[Verse 2]
Ooh, yeah, ooh
Don't trust the teachers
Don't trust the preachers
That the world is round
We'll find out for ourselves
Once we break past the shell on the edge of this town
I got some twenties and tens
In a Maxwell House can with thе lid on tight
To get us over the hot sand
Out of thе badlands, into the night

[Chorus]
Oh, there's a billion little stars
Oh, let's pick out which one is ours
Oh, girl, I need you by my side
To get over the hot sand
Out of the badlands, into the night
[Verse 3]
Baby, you'd better get jeans and a sweater
If the air gets cold
'Cause we been dreaming 'bout breaking out
Running away, since seven years old
And it won't be as hard
Once the fence in our yard
Disappears out of sight
When we're over the hot sand
Out of the badlands, into the night

[Chorus]
Oh, there's a billion little stars
Oh, let's pick out which one is ours
Oh, girl, I need you by my side
To get over the hot sand
Out of the badlands, into the night
To get over the hot sand
Out of the badlands, into the night
