So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion, thinking the world was mine. Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to saveīut my life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life. I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying.Īll that fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to an early grave. Stood on a ridge and shunned religion, thinking the world was mine.
I don't need no food, no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time.įightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave. Well, there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine. I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride. Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide.
