lyrics

look me in the face when you speak to me,
he said then spat quite suddenly,
and aimed his 9 directly at my chest,
i pleaded sir, i'm innocent,
swear i've never been west of Dent,
and i've certainly never ridden on no train.

and if i die (if i die),
well i'll be thinking of you face,
can't go home (can't go home),
i've just a memory of that place,
we used to roam when we were kids ,
and hadn't yet robbed the whole damn town blind.

the sheriff growled i know you've done it,
i've this here sketch,
now boy, go and fetch,
that golden haired pretty little girl of yours,
i replied, i'd love to sir, but i've got no gold,
its just me and my mutt out in the cold,
i'm all alone ain't got no pretty girl.

sheriff he, scratched his head, said i don't know ,
you don't seem the type to steal no gold,
and with a face that ugly no girl'd love ya neither.
i said thank ya sir, you're mighty kind,
but i've still one thing on my mind,
i've got to say, before you let me go,
i looked him in the face, just like he'd asked,
told him how you were back,
at his jail, and how we took that bank.
well girl, that sheriff he looked quite surprised,
when you shot him between the eyes,
and with you, my liberated brother.
