the ballad of a texan's ghost - ryan swob lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well i got home a little past three
and found my wife hid a secret from me
i wasn’t supposed to be back till four
i’m home i said when i opened the door
when the house was quiet i got a little scared
i held my breath and walked up those stairs
i saw another man laying in my bed
when he caught my eye he knew he was dead

[chorus]
the drinking gourd ain’t safe for me
they’re looking for me in abilene
further south is where i gotta go
i’ll make a home in mexico

[verse 2]
i had never left the lone star state
and looking back now it ain’t to great
everybody tried to make money on my head
500 bucks alive or dead
i almost got caught down in san ange
by a little old lady and a big old man
my posters were miles around
and i just barely got out of town

[chorus]

[verse 3]
i got as far as del rio
i was almost over next thing i know
the marshal shot me in the back
and stopped me dead in my tracks
i guess they got me i had lost
sent me home in a box
now i’m in the ground like that guy i shot
my only regret is getting caught

[outro]
looks like no place was safe for me
i’m in the ground in abilene
wish i had got to mexico
but i turned my back in del rio
