Riding the Rusty Rail

CUSTOM

[Intro] Dust rises high, the sun’s hangin' low, Boots crunch the gravel as the cold winds blow, With a six-stringed howl and a bullet’s gleam, I’m ridin’ this rail, chasing the outlaw's dream. [Verse 1] Spurs clangin’ as I ride into the night, A loaded six-gun and the moon's dim light, The devil's breath burns hot in my soul, A heart forged in fire, but outta control. [Chorus] Ride, oh ride, through the devil's back door! Steel and thunder, blood on the floor! No mercy given, no salvation found, Just the call of the wild in that wicked sound! [Verse 2] Dust on my boots, scars on my hands, A life on the edge, I ain’t makin’ no plans, Whiskey in my veins, the fire’s burnin’ bright, I’ll face down the devil before the break of night. [Chorus] Ride, oh ride, through the devil's back door! Steel and thunder, blood on the floor! No mercy given, no salvation found, Just the call of the wild in that wicked sound! [Bridge] The prairie’s wide and my spirit’s free, This outlaw’s life’s the only road for me. [Chorus] Ride, oh ride, through the devil's back door! Steel and thunder, blood on the floor! No mercy given, no salvation found, Just the call of the wild in that wicked sound! [Verse 3] They say there’s gold in these empty hills, But all I found were the ghostly chills, The rattle of chains, the echo of sin, I’m too far gone, can’t go back again. [Breakdown] You can hear the rattlesnake’s hiss in the breeze, The weight of the West bringing men to their knees. But I won’t bow, no, I’ll never fold, I’m the king of the rail, with a soul gone cold. [Final Chorus] Ride, oh ride, through the devil's back door! Steel and thunder, blood on the floor! No mercy given, no salvation found, Just the call of the wild in that wicked sound!
