Rode myself into the ground
Hell it's almost over now
I don't see anything but the light
Darkness filled my days
The rising sun has shown the way
I don't see nothing but the light
The preacher's lesson
Is simply Armageddon
The devil he knows how to ride
The devil knows how to ride
A killer of men
And no way to save them
Hell we all have to die
You wouldn't think that out here
A man could simply run clear
Out of country but oh my"¦ oh my
Oh my"¦ oh my
Nothing but the light
They took my ears in Omaha
Thought me dead but I weren't all
Left them bleeding in the mud
Branded me for horse thievery
Between my eyes for all to see
Left them bleeding in the mud
When this world was made
Was never meant to save
Everyone in kind
And I don't believe
God much had me
Had me much in mind
You wouldn't think that out here
A man could simply run clear
Out of country but oh my"¦ oh my
Oh my"¦ oh my
Nothing but the light
So tell me barkeep
What is there to drink
With just minimal risk
Of blindness or death
It all tastes of ashes
Seems that's all we ever get
You wouldn't think that out here
A man could simply run clear
Out of country but oh my"¦ oh my
Oh my"¦ oh my
Nothing but the light
