He Rode In Alone

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

White sage blowing

The dry creek bed is cracked open wide

Leather chaps dragging

Spurs clicking with the heat of the afternoon

Pre-Chorus

No gold in his pocket

No badge on his vest

Only iron on his hip

Chorus

He rode in alone

He rode in alone

Buried deep where the wind won't stop

Six feet down at the Boot Hill top

Resting now

Resting now

Verse 2

Black hats scattered

Foul smoke rose above the general store

Blood stains the limestone

Townfolk peeked through the slats of the door

Pre-Chorus

Justice came cheaply

Righteous and cold

The gavel was a lead shot

Chorus

He rode in alone

He rode in alone

Buried deep where the wind won't stop

Six feet down at the Boot Hill top

Resting now

Resting now

Bridge

Copper sky

Fading light

Turning red

Turning cold

Chorus

He rode in alone

He rode in alone

Buried deep where the wind won't stop

Six feet down at the Boot Hill top

Resting now

Resting now

Verse 3

Sun rises high

The ridge shows a silhouette tall

Flicker of a shadow

Walking slow

Walking away

Fading out

Chorus

He rode in alone

He rode in alone

Buried deep where the wind won't stop

Six feet down at the Boot Hill top

Resting now

Resting now
