Last Ride of Pecos Bill (Cover)

[Verse 1] He was born in the dust, raised by wolves Screamed at the sky 'til the lightning pulled Rode a cyclone straight through town Left tumbleweeds wearin' his crown [Pre-Chorus] With a snake for a belt and a buzzard kite He’d lasso the moon if he felt polite [Chorus – Shouted & howled] PECOS BILL, LORD OF THE RANGE! Rides tornadoes and calls it “change” SPURS OF FIRE, HEART OF STONE! He don’t need no damn hero’s home He’s a myth in denim, stitched with sin The West don’t end — it starts with him [Verse 2] Fed jackrabbits to mountain lions Brushed his teeth with porcupine spines Roped a dust devil just to dance He spit into the sun and it never stood a chance [Pre-Chorus] Whiskey breath, cactus grin The sky blinked first — Bill wins again [Chorus – Louder, dirtier] PECOS BILL, WILD AS HELL! He pissed in a canyon, made the Liberty Bell FISTFUL OF STARS, BOOTS OF RAGE! He lit a match and burned the page The desert sings in rattlesnake hymns And every howl still sounds like him [Bridge – Spoken growl, like a barroom legend] They say he tried to settle down With a woman ridin' catfish through town But his horse threw her skyward clean Now Bill just stares where she used to be [Final Chorus – Slowed, gritty, rising then exploding] PECOS BILL, LOST IN WIND! Still chasin’ love he couldn’t pin WESTERN GOD, BORN TO BREAK! The land, the law, and every stake No grave for legends carved in skin Just dust, and fire... and Pecos grin
