[Verse] Dust on my boots dust in my veins The train whistles calling it don’t explain The sun’s a knife cutting through the plain A shadow rides close behind [Chorus] 3:10 to Yuma ticking like a gun Every second closer nowhere left to run The clock’s a judge the tracks don’t lie 3:10 to Yuma do or die [Verse 2] Smoke in the air fire in my chest A bounty of sins won’t let me rest The desert whispers secrets to the sky Every mile a question why [Prechorus] Chains on my wrists freedom in my mind Justice ain’t always what you find [Chorus] 3:10 to Yuma ticking like a gun Every second closer nowhere left to run The clock’s a judge the tracks don’t lie 3:10 to Yuma do or die [Bridge] The wheels scream mercy the iron won’t bend Is it redemption or just the end I hear the preacher’s voice but I don’t pray The devil’s in the details and he wants his pay
