lyrics

Ballad of a law man shot dead, silhouette of a smoking gun.
Mark my headstone and hit the road.
Riding off in the sunset, only the grave can save me now.
Come what may, as the story goes.

This is a land without mercy, yet here we are retracing steps
What I call bondage some call free
Would you listen if these roads could speak?

Some live and die by the bullet, others as an endless game of chess.
In time it all becomes roulette. In time a weary mind forgets.
I count the days. Long days.
I count the days. Lonely days.

As gold shines it dulls regret.
Clutched tightly with two crimson hands.
Black horizons, stalking lions, what a beautiful world.
Where the devil makes his home is in the deeds I do.
