lyrics

In 1867 yellow fever took my wife
Had 5 grown children, in the dust bowl I called life
Heard there was gold over the mountains in the valley
So I grabbed a hat and supplies, and I put my backpack on
And I looked up to the hills, and I grabbed my walking stick
And I packed Winchester steel, for the ride

Felt that heat from the desert sky, tried to keep his old hat on
Tales of untold treasure, Julian gold, mountain strong
Story of a southern trail, the only way he could go
Goodbye Texas, Hello Mexico

The rain came down, as he missed home
Sun’s going down, and it won’t be long
But the only hope he has is down the road, down the road, down the road

After three days of travel, found a bed for the night
Met a two faced stranger with a one track mind
The knife behind their back showed I had no chance of surviving
So I ran, down the road, down the road, down the road, down the road

So I walked into the valley with the sun behind my back
Met a couple soldiers and a slimmer fat stack
I met a man who told me, oh son what are you doing here?
You better buy your shit, get out of town, and run away in fear

Keep climbing those miles, over that mountain
He feels he knows that he is gonna die
A man all alone, he is stranded
He’s trying to find a way back, to that state line

Up ahead, he sees his face on a sign
Takes a closer look and can’t believe his eyes
Wanted for murder and other heinous crimes
$1000 bounty
Dead or Alive
Dead or Alive
Dead or Alive
Dead or Alive
