The Long Ride South

Verse 1

Dust

Dry wind

Red sun sinking down

Tired men riding hard across the border

Horses thirsty

Guns cold

Looking for a final payday

Nobody left to trust

Gold

Hard gold

Buried in a shallow grave

Chorus

We ride

Together we go down

To the bottom of the river

Together we go down

To the end of the line

We ride

We ride

Together we go down

Verse 2

Stolen guns

Screaming lead

Blood on the white shirt

Pike is leading the way to the water

I don't know

You don't know

Who will be the last one standing

Maybe Dutch

Maybe Tector

Maybe nobody at all

Steel

Cold steel

Ripping through the morning sky

Chorus

We ride

Together we go down

To the bottom of the river

Together we go down

To the end of the line

We ride

We ride

Together we go down

Bridge

Map is torn

Compass is broken

The world moved on

The world forgot

But we remember

The heat

The hate

The holes in our skin

Verse 3

Wait

Don't move

Iron sights steady

Wild men making a stand for nothing

They came

They saw

They died

No more running

No more hiding

Just the desert and the wind

Chorus

We ride

Together we go down

To the bottom of the river

Together we go down

To the end of the line

We ride

We ride

Together we go down

Outro

One last mile

One last shot

Moving on

Moving out

Just dust

Just dust

Just dust
