The Story of Buddy Lee

Seven and seven naked in the kitchen
Seven and seven fear of the lynch pin
Seven and seven is when I write
Seven and seven my only friend is the night

These purple mountains majesty
Several men coming after me
Do I have enough to survive the fight
Say the words priest my last rights

I have to push the fear from my mind
The hair like thorns raising from my spine
All I need is one last love
To send me away to the good lord above

Theres a town up ahead
I hope they know how to bury the dead
Step foot in that leaky saloon
This man is drinking to his doom

The night goes still
I hear the coyote up on the hill
Forty horses and forty men
This is where I stand this is where this ends

I hear the call
The leader says we all saw
Your children are dead
Why have you fled?

You can't take me alive
I've done all I can I've tried to thrive
They burned my farm
I never meant to do anyone harm
