[Bonnie's a distant memory. Oh wait. This is a prequel, so we haven't even met her yet. Brett's going through horses like Nano goes through V-Bucks. Beatty suggests taking out a loan to further Brett's gambling addiction. So let's all saddle up as our favourite Canadian hombre tames the wild west of 'murica.] Brett rode west with a gun in his hand, Chasin’ dreams with Dutch and the gang. We built a home where the law don’t go, But the weight of sin don’t fade, you know. Saw John with his son, dreamin’ of more, But we lived by the iron, we settled our score. Dutch kept talkin’ ‘bout some grand plan, But I see the cracks where we used to stand. [Pre-Chorus] “You gotta run, son, don’t look back,” Ain’t no place for a man dressed in black. [Chorus] The sun sets slow on a dead man’s road, Ain’t no preacher gonna save my soul. Loyalty’s a noose, love’s a ghost, And I’m just ridin’ where the outlaws go. I trusted Dutch, I rode for his name, But he turned his back when the money came. Micah whispered poison, led him astray, Now our family’s dyin’, one by one, in the flames. Stood on the mountain, breath runnin’ thin, Gave John my guns, said “Get outta this, kid.” I ain’t no saint, but I ain’t no snake, Just a man too late to change his fate. I sat at the table, the cards fallin’ easy, Whiskey and wagers, the night rollin’ slow. Thought ‘bout the plains and a girl back in Texas, Bonnie’s sweet laughter from long, long ago. [Pre-Chorus] “We can’t fight nature, John, we can’t fight change,” I’m just a shadow on the wind’s last range. [Chorus] The sun sets slow on a dead man’s road, Ain’t no preacher gonna save my soul. Loyalty’s a noose, love’s a ghost, And I’m just ridin’ where the outlaws go. [Bridge] I see the past, all the faces we lost, Hosea’s laugh, Lenny’s last shot. Dutch still talkin’ ‘bout paradise, But the devil’s been ridin’ right by his side. [Chorus] The sun sets slow on a dead man’s road, Ain’t no preacher gonna save my soul. Loyalty’s a noose, love’s a ghost, And I’m just ridin’ where the outlaws go.
