I'm on the run
But they ain't got me yet
A black stetson hat
And a price upon my head
I'm riding hard
High across the plains
I gotta get some place
Where nobody knows my name

And I leave that devil in the dirt
With no medicine for his curse
I leave the killing to the callous and them both to the count of ten
I wear my pistol so it shows
Dress my girl up in calico
I gonna ride into the sun till the sunsets red and low
Here I go

Jesus sang, all minor keys
But there ain't no bars could ever hold a man like me

I leave that devil in the dirt
With no medicine for his curse
I leave the killing to the callous and them both to the count of ten
I wear my pistol so it shows
Dress my girl up in calico
I gonna ride into the sun till the sunsets red
Red and low

Too young to die
Too old to start again
The undertakers daughter
She don't even know my name
Oh, such a shame

I leave that devil in the dirt
With no medicine for his curse
I leave the killing to the callous and them both to the count of ten
I wear my pistol so it shows
Dress my girl up in calico
I gonna ride into the sun till the sunsets red and low

Cause I've got nothing left to lose
Got off these dusty boots
I've gotta make it to the border before they get me to the gallows pole

I feel that rattle in my bones
All the way down to Mexico
I gonna ride into the sun till the sunsets red
Red and low
Here I go
Let the credits roll
