Adios Old Friend

You were headed for some border town
To find a Spanish rose and settle down
You hitched a ride on a Southbound Mexican wind
Adios old friend

Well I heard you made it as far as El Paso
Those Texas rangers would not let it go
They tracked you down on the banks of the Rio Grande
Adios old friend

Do angels sing for outlaws?
Well I don’t know
But I know that outlaws pray
And I’ve prayed it so
Oh my friend

Adios old friend

Outside these bars I hear that mission bell
The hangman waits to send me straight to hell
No this ain’t where I thought our trail would end
Adios old friend

Do angels sing for outlaws?
Well I don’t know
But I know that outlaws pray
And I’ve prayed it so
Oh my friend

Maybe we’ll one day ride again
Well adios old friend
Adios old friend
