Shoot out the Sun

In the distance there's a man who looks a lot like me
Wise beyond his years and free
But skeletons keep me from catching up with him
You can shoot out the sun in the name of love
But there's no way to win

I rode into that West Texas town
As the sun sank low
With intentions of robbing a man
Of inherited gold
The woman who shared his last name
Was the heart that I stole
Left him lying on the ground as we burned up the town
To old Mexico

In the distance there's a man who looks a lot like me
Wise beyond his years and free
But skeletons keep me from catching up with him
You can shoot out the sun in the name of love
But there's no way to win

Wagons and trains aint an honest wage
But it's enough to get by
Living on the run and by the gun
Don't rest at night
With the last bit of trust I could summon
I let my guard slip by
Took one dying breath with a knife in my chest
As she rode out of sight

In the distance there's a man who looks a lot like me
Wise beyond his years and free
But skeletons keep me from catching up with him
You can shoot out the sun in the name of love
But there's no way to win

You can shoot out the sun in the name of love
