Charley Crockett
The Man From Waco
The mirage of Del Rio
It was burnin' in his eyes
And sleep had escaped him
Too consumed by his pride
Like the lonesome and high country
He was lost in a haze
And the thoughts of what he'd do
If he unloaded all his rage
The man from Waco
The city was almost silent
As he passed the hummin' signs
On the corner, he heard laughter
Made him afraid of what he'd find
He pushed through the door
Hypnotized by a sound
Just then, tears overcame him
And his heart began to drown
The man from Waco
It was there that he shot her
While the lovers were embraced
With the bullet he intended
For the man who took his place
He cried through the night
SongtexteAs he made his escape
But the rain that was fallin'
Could not wash away his shame
The man from Waco
On the banks of the Brazos
Where the desert willow grows
The clear shallow water
Just won't say all it knows
A moment of burnin' anger
Can curse the livin' through the days
You can let that river take you
But you will never get away
The man from Waco
