Accusation

Racing to you

Somewhere up ahead

Striding a path

No one else dared tread

Bracing my holster (my holster)

Ain't gonna backtrack

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Riding towards you

Like a storm's at my back

Accusation

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Heard thundering hooves

Of a posse giving chase (chase)

I rode like lightning (like lightning)

Not leaving a trace

A pack of wild coyotes (coyotes)

Snapping at my heels

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Spurs are digging in

And my whip

The skin peels (peels)

Accusation

Accusation

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

An accusation of murder, they did contrive

A poster hung said, "Wanted Dead or Alive"

A heinous insinuation, they did proclaim

"The Sheriff Gunned Down" and we're to blame

Accused, framed and sentenced to hang

Portrayed as ruthless members of a gang

The firing squad was told to disband

As the hangman tightened the noose in his hand

Nothing would stop us

Not the widest chasm

Not the Hounds of Hell

Nor any phantasm

We rode side by side

Only one way to go

Up hills, down valleys and south to Mexico
