Last Thing You Heard (Jericho)

The rain falls from a strawberry sky I hear the call of wild, I hear you calling my name We rode off like thunder in a straight line Dust trails a mile wide, that Eustis to blame Yeah, that man who shot Daddy just two years ago I'm gonna honor that pact with my brother Jericho I'm gonna make someone proud by virtue of vengeance And salvation be damned on my way to Houston And on the day I return, I won't bat an eye for you You call me a liar, but I'm the courier of truth For you made the worst enemy that you could endure I'll be the last thing you see, the last thing you heard By hoof, as far as a man can stand As far as a mare could bear the load The moment we meet, I won't say a word But I'll deliver the message that you finally deserve Yeah, the brim of my hat that keep my head dry Let the steam from my crown, like smoke through a stack And I could show you a picture of happy young man It's just a silhouette of a train, and you're tied to the track Well, we burst into Houston like a two-headed hound Jericho went first and I took the high ground And when the shots rang out he cried for his mama I stepped through the door determined and confident Then the boots down the stairs like a march through Jerusalem Carry me home, or to hell you may go And at the ready, I watched with gun to follow Jericho hit the floor, my brother, my martyr Oh, the fire and smoke, the air brake in a spoke The train came to a stop exactly where it should My pistol still hot and his blood upon hand Yeah, he lived by the sword and he was killed by the same Yeah, he lived by the sword and he was killed by the same But on the day I return, I won't bat an eye for you You called me a liar, but I'm the cornerstone of truth For you made the worst enemy that you could endure I was the last thing you saw, the last thing you heard I was the last thing you saw, the last thing you heard, yeah
