I'm on the run, they aint got me yet
A black stetson hat and a price upon my head
I'm riding hard, high across the plains
I gotta get some place
Where nobody knows my name.
And I leave that devil in the dirt
With no medicine for his curse
I leave the killing to the callous
And them both to the count of ten
I wear my pistol so it shows, dress my girl up in calico
Gonna ride into the sun
When the sun sets red and low
Here I go
Jesus sang in all minor keys
But there aint no bars could ever hold a man like me
And I leave that devil in the dirt
With no medicine for his curse
I leave the killing to the callous
And them both to the count of ten
I wear my pistol so it shows
Dress my girl up in calico
Gonna ride into the sun
When the sun sets red and low
Here I go
Bridge
Too young to die, too old to start again
The undertakers daughter
She don't even know my name
Oh such a shame
And I leave that devil in the dirt
With no medicine for his curse
I leave the killing to the callous
And them both to the count of ten
I wear my pistol so it shows
Dress my girl up in calico
Gonna ride into the sun
When the sun sets red and low
Cos ive got nothing left to lose
Get off these dusty boots
Ive gotta make it to the border fore
They get me to the gallows pole
I feel that rattle in my bones
All the way down to mexico
Gonna ride into the sun
When the sun sets red and low
