We should have got it on, you know it's true
So many times I thought I spoke to you
But I guess it wasn't true, some dreams ain't real
Wishful thinking, the way I feel
But you sure looked good this time, I'm sure it ain't no crime
A little fantasy, involving you and me

[Chorus]
Come on over, lay it down
It's about time, shoot me a line, lay it down
All of our lives, running away from the law
We all live under the sun
But we don't have to live under the gun

We still might meet again, you know we could
I got so many ways to make you feel so good
I guess it's up to you to make it work
I hope it's true, don't leave me in the dirt
You sure look good to me, I'm sure you must agree
Just one more chance, the horizontal dance

[Chorus]
Come on over, lay it down
It's about time, shoot me a line, lay it down
All of our lives, running away from the law
We all live under the sun
But we don't have to live under the gun
