(Verse 1)
In the dusty streets of Dead Men’s Bend,
I walk with faith, on God I depend.
I hear their confessions, I listen with care,
Secrets they whisper, I keep them right there.

(Pre-Chorus)
Sinners and saints, they come to my door,
Seeking salvation, and maybe some more.
I baptize the children, I bless the town,
In the house of the Lord, I never back down.

(Chorus)
I’m the priest, the keeper of souls,
Guiding their hearts, making them whole.
But I’ve got my secrets, I hold them tight,
In Dead Men’s Bend, I walk in the light.
Collecting the offerings, I gather the pay,
Women trust me, they pray for my sway.
While men drown their sins in the saloon’s end,
The women come to me, their true faithful friend.

(Verse 2)
Every Sunday I stand and I preach,
Calling out sins, I’m just within reach.
I curse their vices, I call out their shame,
But I use their secrets for my own gain.

(Pre-Chorus)
The poor I help, the rich I serve,
In this town, I hold the nerve.
They think I’m holy, a man of grace,
But I’ve got my own little secret place.

(Verse 3)
In the dark of night, I make my move,
Playing my cards, I’ve got nothing to prove.
The town may think I’m holy and kind,
But I’m the shadow that’s always aligned.

(Verse 4)
So beware, my friend, when you cross my way,
In Dead Men’s Bend, I hold sway.
With God on my side and secrets to keep,
I watch over this town, while others sleep.

(Bridge)
In the shadows, I make my stand,
Holding power in my hand.
God’s protection, my greatest shield,
In this town, I never yield.

(Outro)
So if you come to Dead Men’s Bend,
Watch your words, or you’ll offend.
For I am the priest, with a secret plan,
Ruling quietly in this cursed land.
