I lift my head and look around
Spit out the dirt
And pick myself up off the ground
I felt the shot
But I didn't hear a sound
They must have moved
Your body to town
I've got a wound to heal
But you've got a casket to fill
Your family's torn apart
And mine just has stories to tell
I'll see another fight
But you won't even see tonight
I live to kill and I sleep
With my boots tied tight
Well the sun's shining bright
Not a cloud in the sky
What a beautiful day to die
And the shot rings early
In the back of the honest man
Who turns and fires before he falls
Good men leave
With the dust that blows
And all we're left with is
The crooked men who took them away
My body withers in the sun
I don't dismay
Growing old is not for everyone
I could be bitter
But I'd rather just embrace the black
Just close my eyes
And feel the blood drain out my back
I've seen my final hour
You'll keep living life a coward
Keep telling wishful tales
For each and every scar you have
Go pack your things and hide
Where people don't know of your lies
Kill every man that you wish you were
Well the sun's shining bright
Not a cloud in the sky
What a beautiful day to die
And the shot rings early
In the back of the honest man
Who turns and fires before he falls
Good men leave
With the dust that blows
And all we're left with is
The crooked men who took them away
Well good men don't get
The respect they deserve
As honest commendable men
And fear has replaced
Regard and your nothing
Unless you are willing to kill
The world is a changing
Hard work gets you nothing
Just take what you want
Don't care who you hurt
'Long the way
