Looking to Die

I've been looking to die
When it's my time in those great plains
You've had a hell of a ride
So why don't you show me the way

He was holding
He was hiding
He was sharper than the devil's tongue
And he was clever
But he'd never share his tricks
With you, or anyone

He had money
Had a honey
Some broad he hardly knew
There's something 'bout him
Something he wishes wasn't true
So I asked him

I've been looking to die
When it's my time in those great plains
You've had a hell of a ride
So why don't you show me the way

She was pretty
Hated cities
Lived in some small country bar
But she'd never do you or anyone
Any harm
(And that's the truth - yep)

Till her honey
Owed some money
To some guy she hardly knew
There's something 'bout him
Something she wishes could be true
So she asked him

I've been looking to die
When it's my time in those great plains
You've had a hell of a ride
So why don't you show me the way

So you're leaving trails behind you now
To find your way back home
But you never thought you'd have
To go alone
Now you're hoping for someone to call
To save you when you fall
And to tell you what you knew
After all

I've been looking to die
When it's my time in those great plains
You've had a hell of a ride
So why don't you show me the way
