Last night I dreamed we was runnin' through the outlands
Tears streaming, your pretty face all a wreck
I held your daddy's gun in my trembling hands
And down the highway another stranger comes
You gotta take 'em baby when they come
Little girl, put on your best dress
'Cause we're goin' out on the town tonight
Better bring along your switchblade
'Cause for sure some fool's gonna wanna fight
You've got to take 'em baby as they come
You gotta take 'em
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em baby as they come
But God save the rider in the black night
Save the man who taught that it was right
To do what they have done, girl
To become what we have become
You gotta take 'em baby when they come
Little girl, gone are the days
Faded away into a clear blue night
And all the vows that we made
Lie shattered and broken in the morning light
You gotta take 'em baby when they come
You gotta take 'em
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em baby as they come
I know your heart is breakin'
I can feel it too, girl
Though my finger on the trigger's shakin'
Here I swear to you, girl
If I could take all your sorrow
So that you'd never cry, girl, or be blue
Come tomorrow, girl
What I'd do for you, little one
I swear I'll take 'em baby when they come
(Take 'em) take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em baby as they come
(Take 'em) take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em as they come, girl
Take 'em baby as they come
Take 'em baby as they come
Take 'em baby as they come
Take 'em baby as they come
Take 'em baby as they come
