If you listen close when the hot wind blows[00:00:11]
Down the dust filled streets of old tombstone[00:00:14]
You might hear an old rhyme ringin'[00:00:18]
Of the legends who walked in their long black coats[00:00:22]
And their high top boots and their 45 colts[00:00:25]
Right in to this song i'm singing[00:00:29]
That the ballad mongers made[00:00:33]
Into the rhymes of the renegades[00:00:37]
Way up in dakota by the deadwood moon[00:00:48]
Wild bill's ghost haunts number 10 saloon[00:00:52]
Where a coward came to get him[00:00:55]
Bill held a dead man's hand of aces and eights[00:00:59]
With his back to the door he tempted fate[00:01:02]
Old bill never knew what hit him[00:01:06]
Gamblin' his life away[00:01:10]
To the ryhmes of the renegades[00:01:14]
And in all of the towns too tough to die[00:01:21]
Their dancin' up on boot hill tonight[00:01:25]
Laughin' at the movies hollywood made[00:01:29]
Dancing to the rhymes of the renegades[00:01:33]
And billy the kid is laughing right out loud[00:01:36]
At how they turned him into a hero somehow[00:01:40]
Who'll cast a third stone at his well known grave[00:01:44]
While chanting these rhymes of the renegades[00:01:47]
Way out in california by a long dark bend[00:02:02]
And a mask and duster blowing in the wind[00:02:06]
Black bart still stands there waitin'[00:02:09]
And out in el paso the thunder cloud rolls[00:02:13]
Like john wessley hardin's guns long ago[00:02:17]
And the west still loves to hate him[00:02:21]
For his legend will not fade[00:02:24]
From the rhymes of the renegades[00:02:28]
And all of the robbers who rode through hell[00:02:38]
And danced on the rope when the gallows fell[00:02:41]
Their demons are still with us[00:02:45]
And the vigilantes do more evil than good[00:02:49]
When they masquarade around like robin hood[00:02:52]
And they ride at night to get us[00:02:56]
From the owl whoot trails the shades[00:03:00]
Come the rhymes of the renegades[00:03:05]
And could it be true that some become outlaws[00:03:13]
Holdin' on to the last to a long lost cause[00:03:16]
Diggin' their grave with a silver spade[00:03:20]
Singing hymes and rhymes to the renegades[00:03:24]
Some call it a mystery when waco burns[00:03:27]
From history they refuse to learn[00:03:31]
They turn their backs 'till the movie deal's made[00:03:35]
Deaf to the rhymes of the renegades[00:03:39]
They'll burn down up to heaven and stay [00:03:42]
Cause the raid out laws on the churches and banks [00:03:46]
They enforce the laws that where tailor made[00:03:50]
They won't hear the rhymes of the renegades[00:03:53]
They ignore the dark side of humanity[00:03:57]
They're living the illusion that were all free[00:04:01]
They'll never know how many could be saved[00:04:04]
From the lessons and the rhymes of the renegades[00:04:08]
