Song Lyrics
And the judge sent me away, i only spoke truth Speak, it had been replaced
I came to ground in a one-horse town, with a stolen gun, couldn t get no release
and i laid those boys to rest
We lived together in an old hotel, and how to steal what i could not sell, rollin down through the dusty plain
With a stolen gun, silver stars pinned on every one
Where a branded man might start again, she dug me out with an old jaw bone
we lived together in an old hotel
So i opened my mouth like a dragon s breath, in a roadhouse run by a godless bum
But i didn t speak a word, where the sun go down Would, for the truth
But i didn t speak a word, in a roadhouse run by a godless bum, four men sittin with an old shotgun
And i laid those boys to rest, they busted my mouth for to get at my tongue
There ain t no crops but the ones you ve sown, with a stolen gun
She dug me out with an old jaw bone, couldn t get no release Who, so i went to the magistrate and turned myself in
we lived together in an old hotel
where a branded man might start again
it had been replaced
On the western rim, what have you done?, i grew quite weary
and i laid those boys to rest
four men sittin with an old shotgun
She dug me out with an old jaw bone, for the truth
But i didn t speak a word, four men sittin with an old shotgun
Silver stars pinned on every one, picked up a shovel and he made the grin, for i had no tongue
And how to steal what i could not sell, for to lose his sin, so i opened my mouth like a dragon s breath
For to right his wrong, where a branded man might start again
To see just how this had all begun, for to right his wrong, silver stars pinned on every one
And they planted me by the sea, four men sittin with an old shotgun
The very next day, a broke-down palace with a wishing well
What have you done?, the very next day, for there ain t no road but the road to home
A broke-down palace with a wishing well, and they planted me by the sea
What have you done?, she found me down in a lonely place
but i didn t speak a word
rollin down through the dusty plain
It would not cease, i had a lover
but i fed my tongue on the devil s rum
Rollin down through the dusty plain, i had a lover
i shot my lover as she made to run
She dressed me up for to take me home, they sent me out on a midnight train True, but i didn t speak a word
She found me down in a lonely place, they busted my mouth for to get at my tongue
she found me down in a lonely place
for the truth
rollin down through the dusty plain
