Lyrics

The quick are few

Intro
Verse 1
Out of the old west - in the Mississippi hollows
young riders roam - chasing death from their homes
in the misty morning sunrise - they'll be fighting for their lives
Verse 2
Two days on the trail - tracking bandits from hell
six shooters weighing heavy - no time for a meal
crushed out one last cigarette - in the darkness before dawn
Chorus
Ride hard - ride long
within the grasp of our enemy - the quick are few
Melody interlude
Verse 3
Blazing bullets - echo a cry
a red river flowing - down the mountain side
The dead are many - the quick are few
Verse 4
And in the cold and lonely countryside - who survived
It doesn't do to have many friends - they lose they're lives
It defines our existence - of the quick and the dead
Chorus
Ride hard - ride long
within the grasp of our enemy - the quick are few
Ride hard - ride long
within the grasp of our enemy - the quick are few
Melody interlude
Chorus
Ride hard - ride long
within the grasp of our enemy - the quick are few
Ride hard - ride long
within the grasp of our enemy - the quick are few
