(Verse)

The camp’s glowin’ embers sigh smoke and die out

Like our chances in Sanora’s gold mines

And what’s left to eat has been gone for a week

Can no longer tell the women it’s fine

There’s a train comin’ in, the James-Youngers ain’t here

And ol’ Billy’s got himself two good Colts

One’s meant for ridin’, one to sway men to action

We can’t find a reason not to, so won’t

(Chorus)

Gauchos on horseback, we ride, we ride

Headin’ west through the canyons, we ride

We’ll turn desperado, stick ‘em high, put ‘em high

And like all famous outlaws… we’ll die

(Verse)

The six-shooters spat black, like a fire rose from Hell

On the gallop, they did board the train

The crowd weren’t friendly, hunters who did fight back

And the fiery hot lead did then rain

A split six ways, next paired down to five

When ol’ Billy caught a shot meant for Jim

A ton of buffalo skins and Confederate bonds

And the gang knew they would ride again 

(Chorus)

(Verse)

Bank after train and ranch after mine

The gang of five through the valleys and plains 

Better whiskey and women, a new shine to their boots

Wanted posters hung bearing their names

One more big score, down San Anton’ way 

The Federales first lay there in wait

Sharpshooters with repeaters, entrenched and prepared

And nary an outlaw escaped 

(Chorus)

5: Everybody’s Life is a Country Song (Country, anthem) 

(Verse)

There’s a whole lot more we have in common

Than the things that make us different

Life’s real funny in that way

Like old-timers say, “Yeah, in’it”

(Pre-chorus) 

Break-ups, make-ups, smiles and frowns

On top of a world that’s upside-down

And whether you know it or not, we’re just like you…

(Chorus)

Everybody’s life is a country song

Might as well sing it

Full of everything from loss to love

And we all just keep on swingin’

Back and forth, to and fro

And two steps back and back you go

A little bit of right and too much wrong

Everybody’s life is a country song

(Verse)

There ain’t no shame in cryin’ out, y’all

‘Cause everybody sheds some tears

Don’t be afraid to laugh out loud

The crowd will join in when it hears 

(Pre-chorus) 

It all runs right by you too damn quick

And you try to recall those things you missed

Just try to keep in mind, everyone else feels the same

(Chorus)
