Bad
I Said Yes Lyrics

When it's over they will say we two were bandits,
People will label us as bandits after we are done and our actions will be documented by the press.

They will document our exploits in the press,
Our actions will be recorded and noted by the press.

How we terrorized the ranches and the railroads,
People will know how we terrorized the ranches and the railroads.

How we menaced all the sheriffs in the west,
We were hostile to all the sheriffs in the west.

They will print our little pictures in the paper,
The press will print our small photos in the newspaper.

With a list of all our crimes and our arrests,
A summary of all our crimes and arrests will be included in the article.

And history, as they say, is the rest - we were the best
Our legacy will be determined by what people remember, but we were the best at what we did.

I hear a choir of dislocated women singing dirges for their daughters
I hear a choir of displaced women singing sorrowful songs about their daughters who have been imprisoned.

Who had found themselves inside the county jail,
Their daughters are currently in the county jail.

I can feel the precious metal of the barrel of your colt against my heart
I feel the cold metal of your gun pressing against my heart.

'Cause when we argued you would sometimes pull a gun on me,
You would threaten me with a gun during arguments.

Then we'd think of something,
We would come up with a solution to our problems.

It was the rage of the game you were playing me,
It was an emotional aspect of the relationship that you used to manipulate me.

I see this fire of all the things I'm losing spinning rubies from the saddlebag
I see a reflection of everything I'm losing in the bag attached to the saddle with rubies.

I think that means I may be losing you,
I interpret this symbol as losing you from my life.

And I know that I could take this in my stride if you were riding at my side
I can handle this loss if we are together to face it.

'Cause you'd be here and through the hoof-dust you would wink at me oh,
If you were here with me, you would make this situation a little better by giving me playful looks while we rode our horses.

Then you'd think of something,
You always seemed to have a trick up your sleeve.

You were the brains of the gang and the bravery,
You were the strategist and showed courage in our partnership.

And I am afraid of the man who is chasing me.
I fear the person who is pursuing me.

I don't have a suggestion who these followers could be,
I don't know who the people following me are.

But every time I turn around they're gaining on me,
Whenever I look back, they're getting closer.

Lucy is exhausted, she's never seen the sea,
My horse Lucy is tired and has never been to the sea.

And I know she'd be delighted by your company,
I am sure that Lucy would be happy to have you with us.

Now she may not be the quickest horse that you will ever see,
Lucy is not the fastest horse out there.

And she caught a sock of buckshot back in 1933,
Lucy was wounded by a piece of buckshot in 1933.

But she likes the smell of powder and she likes the smell of me,
Lucy likes the scent of the gunpowder and me.

She likes the lick of leather on her one, two, three -
Lucy enjoys the feel of the leather on her back.

Do you remember when we said we'd go to panama?
Remember when we said we would go to Panama?

Well that seems somewhat improbable somehow,
It seems unlikely that this trip will actually happen.

Do you remember all the other things I'd promised you?
Do you recall all the other things I promised to you?

They're becoming rather difficult now,
Those promises are more difficult to fulfill now.

This could be the song we said we'd write for you,
This song could be the one we promised to write for you.

I could be those friends you never had,
I can be the friend you have never had.

'Cause there are many different kinds of criminal,
There are multiple kinds of criminals.

And there are many different kinds of Bad,
There are multiple ways to be 'bad.'

I don't know if I can make it back this time,
I am unsure if I can make it back this time.

You have always been the faster rider than me
You have always been faster than me on the horse.

You have always been the faster rider than me
You have always been faster than me on the horse.

You have always been the faster rider than me
You have always been faster than me on the horse.

You have always been the faster rider than me
You have always been faster than me on the horse.

You have always been the faster rider than me
You have always been faster than me on the horse.

You have always been the faster rider than me
You have always been faster than me on the horse.
