This here was our situation[00:00:00]
We was just young wildwood boys[00:00:08]
New as the birth of the nation[00:00:13]
The kind that the army employs[00:00:19]
High riding rebs from missouri[00:00:25]
Fought for the grey and for the rell[00:00:31]
Caught up by the battle and the fury[00:00:37]
Back when just living was hell[00:00:43]
After the battle was over[00:00:52]
And after the union had won[00:00:57]
It was quitting that made us the loser[00:01:03]
So we kept doing just what we'd done[00:01:08]
Riding as comrads together[00:01:15]
We looted the trains and the banks[00:01:20]
Removing that carpetbag money[00:01:26]
And sticking it hard to the yanks[00:01:32]
Death always follows behind you[00:01:42]
When you ride down that old outlaw trail[00:01:46]
Someday a bullet will find you[00:01:52]
Or you'll rot like a corpse in some jail[00:01:58]
Turning your back to the danger[00:02:04]
Is a wager no man can afford[00:02:09]
Cause gold turns a friend to a stranger[00:02:15]
Like old judas turned on our lord[00:02:22]
Men are revered and remembered[00:02:27]
While they lay in that coffing and rot[00:02:32]
Some live in the legends of history[00:02:38]
Most are forever forgot[00:02:44]
The victory it goes to the strongest[00:02:50]
And only the strong will survive[00:02:55]
Survival is living the longest[00:03:01]
But nobody gets out alive[00:03:08]
questions The don't never get answered[00:03:15]
And the rights they're remembered all wrong[00:03:20]
The facts they can get plenty confusing[00:03:26]
So someday if you happen to be singing this song[00:03:31]
Remember it's just for the record[00:03:36]
You can't change the handwork of fate[00:03:45]
And tell them I lived for the moment[00:03:51]
And I died when I tried to go straight[00:03:58]
