Intro
Verse 1
[I] rode myself into the ground, hell its almost over now,
I dont see nothing but the light
Darkness filled my days, the rising sun has shown the way, [and]
I Dont see nothing but the light
The preachers lesson, is simply Armageddon,
The devil, he knows how to ride
A killer of men, and no way to save them,
Hell now we all have to die
Chorus
You wouldnt think that out here, a man could simply run clear
Out of country but, oh my... oh my, [Oh my... oh my]
Nothing but the light
Instrumental bridge
Verse 2
They took my ears in Omaha, thought me dead but I werent all [and I]
Left them bleeding in the mud
Branded me for horse thievery, between my eyes for all to see [and I]
Left them bleeding in the mud
When this world was made, [it] was never meant to save
Everyone in kind
And I dont believe, God much had me
Had me much in mind
Chorus repeat
Instrumental bridge
ABRIDGED VERSE 3:
So tell me barkeep, What is there to drink
With just minimal risk
Of blindness or death, it all tastes of ashes
Seems thats all we ever get,
It's all we ever get
REPEAT CHORUS AS FINALE:
