(Mid-tempo ~88 BPM – tense, action-packed outlaw chase) [Intro] Rattlesnake Ridge Bullets flyin’ high [Verse 1] Ambushed in the canyon where the walls run red Posse came screamin’ from both sides ahead Rifles echo like thunder in the stone I’m fightin’ for my life but I’m all alone [Chorus] Rattlesnake Ridge, blood on the ground Lead in my shoulder but I’m still ridin’ down They want me dead or swingin’ from a tree But I ain’t goin’ easy on Rattlesnake Ridge [Verse 2] Horse took a bullet, still carryin’ me I’m bleedin’ bad but the pain sets me free Empty my pistol, reload on the run These walls are closin’ and I’m almost done [Chorus] Rattlesnake Ridge, blood on the ground Lead in my shoulder but I’m still ridin’ down They want me dead or swingin’ from a tree But I ain’t goin’ easy on Rattlesnake Ridge [Bridge] Sun beatin’ down on my fevered skin I can hear the devil laughin’ in the wind If I make it out alive I’ll disappear But tonight I’m fightin’ on this ridge right here [Final Chorus] Rattlesnake Ridge, blood on the ground Wounded and broken but I won’t back down They’ll tell the story of the man who wouldn’t die On Rattlesnake Ridge beneath the western sky [Outro] Rattlesnake Ridge… I’m still ridin’…
