There was a hole in the back of the canyon
But I didn't wanna tell you until I had to
You had a rule: don't leave any woman stranded
So we forged ahead the evening after
Chorus:
And if it wasn't for the night, then we wouldn't have met
And you wouldn't have saved my life from the lead
Of the enemy's fire
And your wounds would have bled until you died
And I might make a piss poor mother and wife
But I know the need of a frontier life
I can settle for yours if you will settle for mine
I'm on your side
When the shots rang like low keys on pianos
I grabbed your hand and I pulled you my way
Towards the safety of that cavern I'd been hiding
As all along I told you it would be okay
Chorus
Instrumental
Chorus
I'm on your side
Oh, I - I'm on your side
I'm on your side, I'm on your side
I'm on your side, I'm on your side
