The Last Bullet Rides

[Verse] The dust rises high blackened the air A lone rider waits nobody else there Six shots in the chamber cold steel in his hand Facing down his sins on this barren land [Chorus] The last bullet rides through the cold hard night Echoes of his past in the fading light Law on his trail like a ghost unseen He stands alone where no man’s clean [Verse 2] The preacher’s words haunt like a whispered tale A heart locked in iron now chipped thin frail The townsfolk murmur behind shaded glass Judgment rides heavy when you can't escape your past [Chorus] The last bullet rides through the cold hard night Echoes of his past in the fading light Law on his trail like a ghost unseen He stands alone where no man’s clean [Bridge] Sax wails sharp like his fraying soul screams Notes twist and claw tearing threads of dreams Cold wind cuts through ain’t no warmth to borrow The duel set for dawn no promised tomorrow [Verse 3] Sunrise cracks open spills red on the sands His shadow grows long drawn by deadly plans The marshal steps forward ground firm on the stage Truth meets cold lead in this final cage
