Doolin-Dalton

They were Duelin'
Duelin' Dalton
High or Low
It was the same
Easy money
Faithless women
Redeye whiskey
For the pain
Go down Bill Dalton
It must be God's will
Two brothers lying dead in Coffeyville
Two voices call to you from where they stood
"Lay down your law books now
They're no damn good"
Better keep on duelin'
Duelin' Dalton
Til your shadow
Sets you free
And if you're faaaast
And if you're lucky
You may never
See that hangin' tree
All the towns lay out across the dusty plains
Like graveyards filled with tombstones
Waitin' for the names
And a man could use his back or use his brains
But some just went stir crazy Lord
cuz nothiiiin' ever changed
Til Bill Duelin'
Met Bill Dalton
He was workin' cheap
Just bidin' tiiiime
Then he laughed and said "I'm goin'"
So he left that peaceful life behind
