The dust settles low on the wooden floor
The sheriff steps back,
unbolts the door
Nobody speaks as I take the street
Just the heavy rhythm of my own heart's beat
Two rings on my hand,
two graves in the hill
But this town is mine,
and I hold it still (ahhh)
I walk out first,
I stand alone
This dusty dirt is my only throne Step off your horses,
drop your lead
Or fill the ground where the others bled (hah)
You rode in like kings to a broken land
But you face the iron in a widow's hand
No sheriff is coming to plead your case
Look long and hard at your final place
She walks out first... (ooh-ooh-ooh)
