Listen to me don't mess around
Take notice to the sudden sound
Well you've got to see that I ain't bluffing
I heard you talking like you understand
Making memories in an empty can
Just trying to feel a little something
Take a look at the world beyond that doorway
I'll be leaving by the end of the night
Oh lord, and I'll be riding till the morning light
(When it's all)
When it's all
(When it's all)
When it's all said and done
When the moon is a'shining bright
The whistle calls for a second time
Just then the smokestack gets to puffing
Jailor man on his nightly rounds
His body found lying on the ground
When they came for me, my cell was empty
There's nothing wrong with one less fool there's plenty
I'll be leaving by the end of the night
Oh lord, and I'll be riding till the morning light
(When it's all)
When it's all
(When it's all)
When it's all said and done
I'll be beating down the freedom line
All still while I was dreaming 'bout the Western skies
(When it's all)
When it's all
(When it's all)
When it's all said and done
