- A Good Day To Die
It was a beautiful day.
And the sun was shining high.
Not a cloud up above.
It was a good day to die.
And I got my chores done.
I got the horses fed.
I took a swim in the pond.
- Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie
Where the coyotes wail and the wind blows free
And when I die don't bury me
Beneath the western sky on the lone prairie
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie
These words came soft and painfully
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
- Hell Or High Water
Smoke em if you got em,
drink your glasses to the bottom,
and toast me on another year.
Another year of hope,
another year of holdin on,
you drinkers by day, and bastards by dawn.
And I hope I will see you soon,
- Mutiny
Well it's a God damn shame what's goin' down
How we got to this I do not know
There's a sick sick wind that's blowin' 'round
And the captain's got to go
About you or me he does not give a damn
What a low down dirty snake
With his mind on his money and his money on his mind
- The Buzzards Won't Cry
You'll pray for a candle when the darkness falls
when the night time closes in
When life's fateful curtain finally draws
you won't see the morning again
Those buzzards will circle all overhead
just waiting for you to die
In their hearts they know you'll soon be dead
- The Day The End Finally Came
My hands they trembled, my knees they shook
and nothing ever was the same
I could not bear to look
the day the end finally came
The lightnin' struck the river
and the water burst up in flames
All the preachers forgot their purpose
