HANG THE COWBOY
Crashing into the canyon
Of sunset valley
Where shade is king
My mind is weary
But I think of one thing
Hang the cowboy
Kill the cowboy
Cut your teeth on the barbed wire
You’re a subway runner, running from the federales
Red eye commuter‚ rope slinger
You’re a turnstile hopper‚ praying to a God who ain’t answer yet
Thrashing to the rattler’s song
Like holy rollers
Blind deaf and dumb
I think of one thing
Hang the cowboy
Kill the cowboy
Cut your teeth on the barbed wire
You’re a subway runner‚ running from the federales
Red eye commuter, rope slinger
You’re a turnstile hopper, praying to a God who ain’t answer yet
Ending like it started
Tumbleweeds in bloom on a silent night
Spurs spinning in the wind
Think of one thing
Hang the cowboy
Kill the cowboy
Cut your teeth on the barbed wire
You’re a subway runner‚ running from the federales
Red eye commuter, rope slinger
You’re a turnstile hopper, praying to a God who ain’t answer yet
