"ANYONE CAN TELL"

THE HEAVY HORSES

 Been riding hard for three days, and I can't turn back now
They sentenced me to hang but I slipped away somehow
Hell I’m the best there is and that's all you need to know
'Cause I got outlaw blood and a restless weary soul

And I’m trying to cross the border when the sun sets down tonight
If I keep on riding hard, I'll be a free man come daylight
Hell I’m the best there is and that's what I hear them say
Well I guess I always knew that I’d pay my debts some day

They found me in a little town just outside of Mexico
I was sold out by a friend, for a handful of pesos
And anyone can tell you my guns they were not drawn
I was murdered down in cold blood, left to die at dawn

Been gone one hundred years now but it seems like yesterday
That the law man shot me in the dark stole my life away
Hell I’m the best that ever lived, I’m a legend among men
Now every time there's a pistol fight, a legend rides again

They found me in a little town just outside of Mexico
What happened there that night no one will ever know
But anyone can tell you that I was unarmed
And anyone can tell you that I left that night unharmed
