Road hard and I put up wet, been down but I can't get up yet It's a long ride back to the way I want to feel Sun down across the plain, I've bee sore before I'll be sore again No place to hide to keep from runnin' Laid down in the cotton wood hollow though I left a trail that no man could follow, Is it safe to rest my head again till morning Cracked throat, my canteen's dry Rain won't fall from an empty sky, so I whisper Hail Marys till the sun comes up Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls in love When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above When the candles burnin' down, when midnight comes around Know the best that we could hope for is to be laughin' when we finally hit the ground Road hard come down tired, strip from the saddle when the rifle fired, Deep in dreams of women and clean water Well I did before what I'll do again So forgive me father if I have sinned, but the old wood cracks before it bends Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls in love When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above When the candles burnin' down, when midnight comes around Know the best that we could hope for is to be laughin' when we finally hit the ground Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls in love When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above When the candles burnin' down, when midnight comes around Know the best that we could hope for is to be laughin' When we finally hit the ground Aus Songtexte Mania
