Never had trouble finding trouble
‘cause trouble always wants to be found
I found him in a bar in Arizona
but you can find his type in every town

And I hear that sound ...
the hammers pound
I’m Boot Hill bound

A mean-tempered drunk he had it coming
everybody hated him around
and if not for the long arm of his brother
he would have been a long time in the ground

And I hear that sound
hammers pound
I’m Boot Hill bound

Town folks said to fly away now
like a murder of crows into the night
Sheriff be a-comin’ with a vengeance
looking for an eye for an eye

Two black horses in the moonlight
seen ‘em ridin’ side by side
Sheriff and the Devil and the hellfire
burnin’ every run down place to hide

And I hear that sound
the hammers pound
I’m Boot Hill bound Meer weergeven

Stone cold breeze was blowing through the canyon
drew her out the door
Down in the valley everybody’s buried in the Civil War
And between the blue and gray
she’d forgotten what she wanted to say
...
She had a reason and I hope she finds her color someday
She had a reason but it changes every season
She had a reason but it changes every season
She had a reason and I hope she finds her color someday
Between the blue and gray

The walls are getting smaller
disappearing stone by stone
Her shadow’s getting taller
anyone can she that she has grown

And between the blue and gray
she’d forgotten what she wanted to say
She had a reason and I hope she finds her colors someday
She had a reason but it changes every season
She had a reason but it changes every season
She had a reason and I hope she finds her color someday
Between the blue and gray
She had a reason but it changes every season
She had a reason and I hope she finds her color someday

When your blood red sky is the same as mine
I will finally rest in peace, Abilene
We could fly from the mountain high
and we could swim to the bottom of the sea
Oh how crazy I must seem
clinging to your washed out dream, Abilene ...

I’ve been chained and bound
In this lone pine ghost town
Been a long sundown
since I’ve seen you, Abilene
I’m at the end of my rope and you don’t care
left me hangin’, swingin’ in the air Abilene
There’s nothing left to keep you wild but the miles
between you and me
And if I ever see your face again
I will show you how your story ends, Abilene Meer weergeven

Nobody knows the trouble I have found
Just how deep a hole
I’ve dug into the ground
I’ve walked through the brambles
never on the path
Living in the shambles ...
suffering the wrath
now I’m stranded in perdition
and I’m sure to be found
When I’m out of ammunition
they will gun me down

You don’t get rewarded
for being your own man
Although I can’t afford it
I’ve bitten all the hands
that ever tried to feed me
or shield me from the cold
Right now I’m starving
for a woman’s hand to hold
‘cause I’m stranded in perdition
and I’m sure to be found
When I’m out of ammunition
they will gun me down

Nobody knows the trouble I have found
all the bad decisions
that led me to this town
I made my choices
long as fate allowed
But I hear their horses
the baying of the hounds
and I’m stranded in perdition
and I’m sure to be found
When I’m out of ammunition
they will gun me down Meer weergeven
