Well, I spent last night in Las Cruces jail
Raining hail, born to fail
Nobody come for to go my bail
Sun, don't you rise no more
I shot one man on the county line
Took his dime and I blew his mind
Now I'm just sitting here, doing time
Sun, don't you rise no more
Well, a restless wind is whistling
Through my window, through my head
Through all the straits that I've survived
And in my hour of darkness
I keep counsel with the dead
Just enough to remind me I'm alive
I write to the governor to hear my plea
But he don't even answer me
The judge said he's gonna set my spirit free
Sun, don't you rise no more
Gavel fell, he chose the day
Gallows high, thirteenth of May
But I don't plan to go that way
Sun, don't you ruse no more
Goodnight, my Andalucia
Don't buy all the lies that they feed you
And though you're heading slowly
To some place I can't respect
I'll keep you in my collection of regret
And that's twenty-one fell by my gun
Well they all fell the same
Just need one more to match my age
Then I'll count my killing done
But I won't deny my name
Quickest wrist of the chaparral and sage
Well desperate times call for desperate men
I'm just a kid but I'll pretend
My time will come, but until then
Sun, don't you rise no more
I see the gallows altar
That circle 'round the Sun
They gonna hang me if I stay here
Shoot me if I run
That jailer better watch his pride
Or off my wrists these shackles slide
Hear my restless forty-five
Sun don't you rise no more
Goodnight, my Andalucia
Don't buy all the lies that they feed you
And though you're heading slowly
To some place I can't respect
I'll keep you in my collection of regrets
Down the highway, down the road
To infamy I'll ride
I'll take my pardon on the run
With a trail of death behind me
And Deluvina at my side
Two silhouettes against the Sun
Well, I spent last night in Las Cruces jail
Raining hail, born to fail
Nobody come for to go my bail
Sun, don't you rise no more
