Last Thing You Heard (Jericho)

The rain falls from a strawberry sky
I hear the call of wild, I hear you calling my name
We rode off like thunder in a straight line
Dust trails a mile wide, that Eustis to blame

Yeah, that man who shot Daddy just two years ago
I'm gonna honor that pact with my brother Jericho
I'm gonna make someone proud by virtue of vengeance
And salvation be damned on my way to Houston

And on the day I return, I won't bat an eye for you
You call me a liar, but I'm the courier of truth
For you made the worst enemy that you could endure
I'll be the last thing you see, the last thing you heard

By hoof, as far as a man can stand
As far as a mare could bear the load
The moment we meet, I won't say a word
But I'll deliver the message that you finally deserve

Yeah, the brim of my hat that keep my head dry
Let the steam from my crown, like smoke through a stack
And I could show you a picture of happy young man
It's just a silhouette of a train, and you're tied to the track

Well, we burst into Houston like a two-headed hound
Jericho went first and I took the high ground
And when the shots rang out he cried for his mama
I stepped through the door determined and confident

Then the boots down the stairs like a march through Jerusalem
Carry me home, or to hell you may go
And at the ready, I watched with gun to follow
Jericho hit the floor, my brother, my martyr

Oh, the fire and smoke, the air brake in a spoke
The train came to a stop exactly where it should
My pistol still hot and his blood upon hand
Yeah, he lived by the sword and he was killed by the same
Yeah, he lived by the sword and he was killed by the same

But on the day I return, I won't bat an eye for you
You called me a liar, but I'm the cornerstone of truth
For you made the worst enemy that you could endure
I was the last thing you saw, the last thing you heard
I was the last thing you saw, the last thing you heard, yeah
