Out in a Mexican town Is where I found Jesus Out of the Mexican night In darkness He came
When the hammer clicked I heard angels Coming to take me to my grave
Woah Lord I've been a terrible man And there ain't much left of my soul But, dying in an ambush In the Mexican night That ain't no way for a legend to go
While the day's time was resting I'd ride in on nights And I'd spill all their blood Before the waking of light
Finished with reaping I'd ride out again While they cry with their children And bury their men
A beguiler of women, I'd settle for none I took daughters from fathers, left mothers with sons Consumed by glory and thirsting with lust In the end all those things turn to ashes or dust
And weight in my lungs Oh, weight in my lungs
Men tried to struggle, women appease Children would fall down to grovel and plead Drowning in prayer and full of mistrust In the end all those things turned to ashes or dust You might also like Think Of Me Unkind The Heavy Horses Anyone Can Tell The Heavy Horses We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together Taylor Swift
I heard the cavalry ride that day My parents hid me and there I'd stay Then those troops came, one by one Men with honor, men with virtue, men with none
When they held her, I heard him cry And when they butchered him, I watched her die I shed no tears and vowed that day Men would crumble, men would suffer, men would pay
Before the war came, I was free Then a darkness consumed me The face of war is all I see And I find no hope on bended knee
I kept my word as the years crept by I slaughtered all to watch them die I'd make them doubt, oh they believed Men can marry, men can father, men can grieve
They'd beg their Lord, as I did my will Their wives would scream and their children still I heard their stories one by one Men have prayers, men have regrets, I have none
Before the war came, I was free Now a darkness consumes me I'm the last face men will see And they waste their breath on bended knee
Ride to town, shoot 'em up and keep on going 'Cause I got a job to do and I don't stop for no one So get your gun, and kiss your wife, and lock up your daughter Don't let her fall in love with the pale rider
Many men have quickly found I'm unforgiving They say dying ain't no way to make a living So get your gun and bet your life, if you're a gambler You draw a dead man's hand against the pale rider
And I walked down into Mexico What I came for I think you know I take another life, it's all the same It's one more killing to the man that has no name
So ride to town, shoot 'em up and keep on going Cause I got a job to do and I'll be gone come morning So get your gun, and kiss your wife and hug your daughter Tell her you're off to meet the pale rider Don't let her fall in love with the pale rider
And I walked down into Mexico What I came for I think you know I take another life, it's all the same It's one more killing to the man that has no name It's one more bullet to the man that has no name
