riders in the sky - desperado trail lyrics

[verse 1]
as a young man i went ridin’ with an outlaw rebel band
i was tired of raisin’ cattle and a livin’ off the land
a wild and restless wind rushed the life within my veins
burning led and wasted blood would spot the trail i claimed
i learned fast from my compadres how to ride and shoot and run
i was lightnin’ with my fist but soon was faster with my gun
and i learned no fear of danger, for to die was not to fail
as death would mark the ending of the desperado trail

[chorus]
death would mark the ending of the desperado trail

[verse 2]
i rode with pride and valor as we chased thе payroll stage
my daring matched the tеrror of my six+gun’s mighty blaze
soon many men had fallen by my tactics of surprise
thirty of them died as they gazed into my eyes
oh there never was an iron vault too safe for me to crack
there never was a train i couldn’t to make to jump the track
and i knew the secret hideouts where the lonely night winds wail
so soon i was no stranger on the desperado trail

[chorus]
soon i was no stranger on the desperado trail
[verse 3]
but i danced with musty ladies at saloons in every town
and the whiskey board as freely as the tails that i could sound
and soon too many knew the trail that i did choose to ride
and i learned the way an outlaw feels when there’s no place to hide
one cold night as i lay my fire a voice behind me said
“you k!lled my son three years ago and now i’ll see you dead”
i spun and dropped my finger but i drew to no avail
his bullet marked the ending of my desperado trail
i faced the sky, i tasted blood, i couldn’t draw my breath
my vision blurred and faded as i struggled now with death
each second of my life quickly flashed inside my head
my k!ller stood above me makin’ sure that i was dead
and in his eyes i saw the face of every man i’d slain
but when the last one was his own i knew he too must lose the game
as he turned i raised my dying gun and sent him on to h+ll
for vengeance never dies along the desperado trail

[chorus]
vengeance never dies along the desperado trail
