Oh dear God won't you save my soul as I wander into the unknown I been walking down a very dark path I'm afraid I won't find my way back now its all uphill from here for me oh dear God have mercy on me, pulled that trigger no turning back buried the evidence in an old sack under that old cypress tree I wonder whats become of me now I'm staring down the barrel of a smokin gun looks like its time for me to run, I ain't never been afraid to die there's no gettin outta here alive I wonder who's all lookin for me as I'm hidin out in these trees now I hit rock bottom and I'm close to the edge sure enough they want me dead, I wake up staring at the morning sun I'm also staring at a lawman's gun he said this here's the end of the road draw that gun and I'll take your soul.
