well, i pulled out of canyon county
|
great cradle of the west
|
my mama and me and one lone dog
|
Tryin to do our best
|
strangers all around me
|
said none knew my name
|
i came to take back this land
|
i came to stake my claim, yes sir
|
|
the farm is all i've ever know
|
it bears my family name
|
but, damn, my brother got drunk one night
|
and lost it all in a poker game
|
shots rang through the silence
|
i heard the angels cry
|
you never arrive a winner a saint or a sinner
|
the boy said aces high
|
|
(chorus)
|
saddletramp you're back in action
|
lookin for the man that took my brother
|
i came to put him down
|
saddletramp you spend your whole life
|
runnin like the wind....going for the bounty but
|
riding for the thrill
|
|
mama died of a broken heart
|
the way myy brother threw his life away
|
but when they put him in the ground
|
it like to kill me just the same
|
half past the hour of midnight
|
i looked into the killers eyes
|
i pulled my 45 and bullets started flyin
|
the man he had to die
|
|
(chorus) 2x
|
|
everytime you take a life,
|
the devils watching you
|
he'll fill you with a pack of lies
|
and he'll steal your soul from you......i say
|
