Reach

He robbed a train near Santa Fe For money and for riches It ended on a chain gang With those dirty sons of bitches When the shadow of the night came on He was gone One day he bought himself a gun Said "Now I'm gonna make them pay" "Reach!" I heard him say "Guess this ain't your lucky day" "Reach!" I heard him say Then he smiled and rode away He was headed for the future Running from his past Looking for adventure Ridin' hard and fast Hell bent for leather Foamin' at the bit Saddle sore and weary In a three-way split, awww, shit... When the shadow of the night came on Holmes, he was gone One day he rode into my town This was all he had to say "Reach!" I heard him say "I'm back in town and I'm here to stay" "Reach!" I heard him say "Where's my gal, Maggie Mae?" "Reach!" I heard him say "Guess this ain't your lucky day" "Reach!" I heard him say "Get the band, let's hear them play" One day a posse gunned him down This was all they had to say "Reach!" I heard them say "I guess this ain't your lucky day" "Reach!" I heard them say Then they smiled and rode away
