[Verse 1]
Born all alone
Up to seventeen
Roy never known what they wanted him to be
So he tore it down
Burned a light in every town
Like a rainbow fading into blue
All lace and diamonds
Little opium in her smile
Lori was grown in a house of ill repute
One eight nine four
The year that her suitor came calling for her
With a razor and a suit

[Chorus]
Oh and there goes the start gun
They go headed around the bend
Don't try to tell the blind the feeling of bluе
The chosen and the bright onе
They are walkin' hand in hand
And if they are mistaken
Then all is forsaken
And truly forgotten

[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Roy was gunned down
On the red light side of town
In a dance hall
Called the Wiggle Room
Lori followed behind
In a wagon train of time
With her rage
And her wrath in full bloom

[Chorus]
Oh and there goes the start gun
She comes headed around the bend
Who stole the soul
Of my only true
Love has come for justice
With a Derringer in hand
And if she is mistaken
Then all is forsaken
And truly forgotten
