Tragic Life

I'm a long way from home
I don't know where I'll go
I a'int slept in days
And the water's running lowGot a posse at my back
And bullet in my side
Lord I gotta keep on movin'
Find a good place to hideWell they tried to take me in
For shootin' down a man
He got what he deserved
They'll have to catch me if they canI feel my blood runnin' colder every day
I know that soon this old body be layin' beneath the clayI came home from the range
And the moon was shining bright
Saw two shadows moving
Like demons in the nightI felt my body tremble
As I saw them lyin' there
A stranger with my wife
I drew the pistol that I wearOh, and I feel my blood runnin' colder every day
And I know that soon this old body be layin' 'neath the clayI shot him in the back
As he was makin' for the door
I stood over a man
That I knew I'd seen beforeHis hand was on his chest
And I knew I'd gone too far
When I opened up his vest
And I saw that silver star(break)Oh, and I feel my blood flowin' colder every day
And I know that soon this old body be layin' 'neath the clay
Oh, and I feel my blood flowin' colder every day
And I know that soon this old body be layin' 'neath the clay
