Lyrics
TAKE ME HOME
Copyright © 2008 David Check / Mike Mattera
Gunfire still echoes thru the canyon
Bloodstains still clouds her tears
As she gently rides with her lifeless treasure
His dying words still echo through her ears.
* Take me back to my home
Don't bury me here all alone 2x
Neath some sun-scorshed sand and stone
Take me back to my home
Baby please, take me home
He never thought he'd taste that angry bullet
An outlaw mean and bad until the end
He never thought the law would beat his trigger
To die beside his love his only friend
She screamed when he went down
And through the smoke she found
The tears he never dared show before
And when he came around
His voice a softer sound
He whispered words,
And wouldn't let her go Baby please....*
