Lyrics
Its time again to lie in the mercy of the night
My trial lies in wait in the blinding light
In the land that harbours the heathen souls
Pushers of the hunger, the flame, the bullet hole
Come find me out in the desert wind
Marked as Cain for my venial sin
Follow vultures vile to my paling bones
Ride the Cannonball on time Casey Jones
Why did you go and leave me lonely
Why did you go and leave me here
These passages of alleys creeks and narrowlands
In the Valley of the Unforgiven
Lit a match threw it down at our last chance Texaco
Poured fourth my kerosene across the great Los Indios
Took the backroads south to the long decline
Was abandoned on the wayside by the borderline
And why did you go
And leave me lonely
Why did you go
My one and only
Now the law cant touch me but po po's on his horse
Theyre roundin up everyone all the way across
The straight and the narrow the crooked and the deep
For retribution of the guilty taken from their sleep
So come find me out in the desert wind
Open up again and let me in
If I pushed my wounded heart with nimble tongue
Id no longer be the unforgiven
