[Intro – Legend Begins] They called her Sal, the outlaw queen, With a crooked smile and a cold steel gleam. [Verse 1 - Ride or Die] Rode with Jack where the track ran black, Kid was green, but his heart rang true, Stayed by my side, He bled for the ride, Thought we’d make it the whole way through. [Verse 2 - Betrayal] Knocked off a bank in a two-bit town, Flo flipped fast with that rattler’s grin, She sold us out, Knew every route, Left us cornered and boxed us in. [Pre - No Redemption] Don’t need no priest, don’t want no prayer (prayer...) (prayer...) Just a final grin from a cold-hearted slayer [Chorus - Stand Tall] Sal, stand tall, ‘gainst the reaper’s call With a noose and a deadpan stare Fight, Sal, fight, till the heavens fall Meet your fate with a steely glare [Verse 3 - Reckoning] Found that Flo in a gambler’s den, She smirked like the past was dead and done, My knife slid clean, She made no scene, And her silence said I’d won. [Pre - No Redemption] Don’t need no priest, don’t want no prayer (prayer...) (prayer...) Just a final grin from a cold-hearted slayer [Bridge – Quote from Bonnie Parker Poem] Now here I sit in a lonesome cell With a noose that’s a-waitin’ for me I’ve played my hand, And I’ll take my stand, And I’ll swing without a tear. [Pre- No Redemption] Don’t need no priest, don’t want no prayer Just a final grin from a cold-hearted slayer [Chorus - Stand Tall] Sal, stand tall, ‘gainst the reaper’s call With a noose and a deadpan stare Fight, Sal, fight, till the heavens fall Meet your fate with a steely glare [Pre - No Redemption] Don’t need no priest, don’t want no prayer Just a final grin from a cold-hearted slayer [Outro – Tale Lives On] They still tell tales of how she fell But they leave out the part she chose it well.
