Anyone Can Tell

I've been riding hard for three days
And I can't turn back now
They sentenced me to hang
But I slipped away somehow
Hell, I'm the best there is
And that's all you need to know
'Cause I've got outlaw blood
And a restless weary soul
And I'm trying to cross the border
Before the sun sets down tonight
If I keep on riding hard
I'll be a free man come daylight
Hell, I'm the best there is
And that's what I hear them say
But I guess I always knew
That I'd pay my debt someday
They found me in a little town
Just outside of Mexico
I was sold out by a friend
For a handful of pesos
And anyone can tell you
My guns they were not drawn
I was murdered down in cold blood
And left to die at dawn
I've been gone 100 years now
But it seems like yesterday
That the lawman shot me in the dark
And stole my life away
Hell, I'm the best that ever lived
I'm a legend among men
Now every time that pistol fires
A legend rides again
They found me in a little town
Just outside of Mexico
What happened there that night
No one will ever know
But anyone can tell you
That I was unarmed
And anyone can tell you
That I left that night unharmed
