Sin Nombre
The Refreshments
x2
Rode hard and put up wet
I aimed down, but I can't get up yeah
It's a long ride back to the way I want to feel
Sundown across the plain
I've been sore before, I'll be sore again
No place to hide to keep from running
Laid down in a cottonwood hallow
I left the trail, no man could follow
Is it safe to rest my head again till morning?
Cracked throat and my canteen's dry
And rain don't fall from an empty sky
So I'll whisper Hail Marys till the sun comes up
Now don't tell me that part of the story when
The cowboy falls in love
When it's raining in his pistol
And his saddle, and the stars above
When the candle's burnin' down
And when midnight comes around
Now all the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughing when we finally hit the ground
Rode hard and come down tired
Stripped from the saddle when the eye of the fire
And deep in dreams of women in clean water
And I did before what I'll do again
So forgive me father if I have sinned
But the old wood cracks, before it bends
Now don't tell me that part of the story when
The cowboy falls in love
When it's raining in his pistol
And his saddle, and the stars above
When the candle's burnin down
And when midnight comes around
Now all the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughing when we finally hit the ground
Solo
Now don't tell me that part of the story when
The cowboy falls in love
When it's raining in his pistol
And his saddle, and the stars above
When the candle's burnin down
And when midnight comes around
Now all the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughing when we finally hit yeah
When the candle's burnin down
And when midnight comes around
Now all the best that we can hope for
Is to be laughing when we finally hit the ground
