Windfall

Out in the wilderness looking for treasure
Like losers who've lost their last chip
Out in the parking lot kicking the desert
For coins that could buy the next sip

Out in these mountains a windfall can kill you
The branches are servants to law
And the wind is a pistol that pings through the canyons
And whistles its murderous song

I could kill you for now I won't
But if I never do please leave me alone
Count yourself favored by fortune and death
Ride home by starlight and speak ne'er a breath

Out in the wilderness there was a devil
Who tempted our savior with gold
All the power in the world all treasure and mammon
Lies that this slick serpent sold

But Jesus was wiser than the posses I ride for
He said get behind me foul snake
If the law doesn't find us we'll put this behind us
Right after we cut up the take

I could kill you sang the wind and the snake
Now I won't so let's cut up the take
If I never do count yourself cursed
Of all of my good deeds friend you'd be the worst

Yes I could kill you now I won't
But if I never do just leave me alone
Count yourself favored by fortune and death
Ride home by starlight and speak ne'er a breath
Shhh
